Otis is always in my ear, giving me advice on everything related to basketball and life. I don't know how other GMs work, but with Otis you just know he's going to be there every day. And seeing him there, it just makes it seem like he cares a little more. |
Our record doesn't reflect the kind of team that we have right now. We're playing really well, we're bonding and we're sharing the ball. |
People can talk about playoffs, playoffs, but we're just trying to get better. If we don't make the playoffs and just carry it onto next season, this is good. |
People just want to make excuses, which really is fine with me. I'm always the underdog. |
Steve told me to keep shooting and he's the team leader. When he tells you to keep shooting, you keep shooting. I know he's going to keep shooting, so if he tells me to, why not? |
That's what I told him all summer -- 'Catch and shoot.' That's what he said he was going to work on. He's comfortable enough. |
The ball got deflected and if it was anybody else, I don't think they would have caught that ball. There's only a few people in this world who would have caught that ball where he did, and there may not be anybody. |
They keyed on Steve so much, they left me wide open. He told me to keep shooting, keep shooting. I know he's going to keep shooting, so why not? |
They set the tone and established the style of play. We turned the ball over too many times and our execution wasn't there. We've just got to keep working and fight through this. |
This is one of the reasons I came back, ... Moments like this. I knew we were going to be special, but not this special. |
We beat the best team in basketball, but we're not thinking about signature wins right now. We'll worry about that when we get to the playoffs. We've just got to keep this going. |
We came out with a lot of intensity, and we had to because they knew we played last night. We knew they were going to come out and throw a big first punch. We survived that and threw some of our own. |
We care, we care about each other and we care about winning. I can't say anybody in this locker room is competing against one another. We're competing for one another. |
We had just won two straight, but it seems like every time we do something good, then something bad happens. |
We just beat the best teams in the league. If we get the opportunity to face someone in a series, it should be fun to watch. |
