He's still a young guy. He's going to be an All-Star (one day). Who knows? Maybe he'll still get voted in. We'll have to see what happens. |
He's the barometer for their team. He is the heart and soul of their team. He can play three positions (shooting guard and both forward spots), and he works so hard. He is kind of like their Ben. Ben is our energy guy, and Shane is theirs. |
He's the one guy we've had who has been a little sore in the legs. |
He's worked hard. He's come in more than some of the other guys. He's been coming in at night, like 8 p.m., and shooting for an hour, hour and a half. |
Hearing it can get to you mentally. Like I said earlier [in the season], we were never going to jeopardize success in the playoffs to chase a number like that. |
Hopefully he'll be OK to go. |
Hopefully we'll play these guys again. But we both have a lot of work to do before that. |
I am happy we won, but I am not overall pleased with how we played. When we don't play well, we hold the ball. Tonight, we held the ball. I know our schedule had something to do with it, but we can't be effective when we play like we did tonight. |
I can only judge what I have seen, |
I don't always judge things by wins and losses. I just go by how you play and the opportunities to win. We played 51 games, and out of those 51 we had nine losses and probably only three of those games where we basically didn't have opportunities to win in the fourth quarter. |
I don't judge somebody that's had five years of stellar work -- not only with the team but in the community, and how he has been in practice -- and judge him by one incident. You judge him on the long haul. |
I don't see any holes. I think all the pieces are there. |
I don't think it's even an issue. He's going to be fine. |
I don't think they even know. |
I don't think we got in any flow offensively or defensively. We just didn't make stops or chase down long rebounds like Indiana did. |
