I still have a lot of respect for him. |
I think he started at center in [two] NBA Finals. In those Finals he was going against Shaquille O'Neal and Tim Duncan, at the peaks of their games. |
I think they have come down a little bit to Earth after their fast start. It is extremely tough to live up to that hype. Everybody was talking about 70 (victories) after 35 games. I knew they were mortal. I didn't think they were unbeatable. |
I think they've come down to Earth a little bit after a fast start, but they're still, I would say, the best team in the NBA. But we're a confident group here. I don't think there's a situation that we go into and don't believe we can win. |
I think we are going to be a team that makes a real good push. We have been a team that people consistently talk about for the last five years (come) playoff time. Sometimes people forget what we can do. I think the last 15 games, a lot of people are going to be talking about other (teams) while we are still playing well and having a chance to make some noise in the playoffs. |
I tried to get my career high. J-Kidd, he was more going for NBA history. I'm going for personal history. NBA history is another thing. |
I try and get him to shoot more threes. That's his next step. They're right there. You can't not shoot 18-footers like that and not be able to hit some threes. It's just a matter of getting an opportunity. |
I try to be as efficient as possible. |
I was a defensive specialist ... I had to guard whoever Gilbert was supposed to be guarding, too. I'm telling you, Gilbert did not play defense. |
I was just trying to joke and be myself. Tom is always crazy and I like to joke around. That's one of the good things about this school. You were able to be your own person and put in your own personality and yet you were part of a team. |
I was teasing him in the guts of the game. Hey, are you going to make a shot? That's the way we are as a group. We have so much confidence in each other, there is no need to get on anybody. |
I wouldn't say we've been on our heels, but we haven't had things go our way. |
I'm insanely optimistic. For odd, weird reasons, things always work out. |
If he hasn't let it go yet then you guys should be talking to him. It was an unfortunate incident that he got hurt. We moved on. Maybe except for Kenyon, who is no longer with our team. The biggest person he had a problem with isn't on our team anymore. It is no big deal. |
If I say no, he's a liar. If I say yeah. |
