We had great crowd support. I think that it definitely had something to do with it. |
We have great fans here in Oklahoma. It's unfortunate that Louisiana had such a tragedy that people don't really have the time to come out and support entertainment. |
We understand we have to scratch and claw our way to every one of these victories down the stretch. It feels real good to know that we're still in the hunt. We feel we're absolutely a playoff-caliber team, even though we're a young team. And we know we have to go out there and prove that. |
We were riding high and then the thing crashed on us a little bit. We've been fighting ever since and because we were working so hard to get these wins and coming up short, it was devastating. But ... we've still got a lot of fight left in us and we scratched and clawed our way to a victory tonight. |
When we are at home and the crowd is going, we run just a little bit faster, jump a little bit higher. This crowd was so electrifying, it gives you goose bumps at times and as a young team, we feed off that. |
With that loud crowd out there, I think we're going to have one of the loudest crowds in the NBA, if not the loudest. |
You play for a good team like that, everybody has a specific job, ... If you're a guy who shoots well, that's all you do. If you're a guy who passes the ball well, that's what you do. But I saw this opportunity with the Hornets as something different, not just to be a shooting specialist, but having a chance to expand my game. |
