I thought we played well enough to win. When you penetrate and pump fake on shots like we did it moves the defense with you. Parker was great tonight like he has been all year. |
I thought we really kept our composure, kept fighting. We just kind of found a way to get it done. |
I was looking before the game and I'm like 91/2 years older than him. That is just crazy. (Howard) is just so talented, so developed. He doesn't look like a 19-year-old. He has so much promise and I'm just glad that I will be out of the league when he is peaking. |
I wasn't 100 percent, but I was just glad to be out there and I thought I helped our team win. |
I wish I could be involved in the high-flying off the glass stuff, but that's just not what I do, ... So I go out there, I play. I take my open shots and I try to move the ball around. |
I wish there had been something a little closer (than the locker room). That would've been nice. I made it through. That's about all I can say. |
I'm just trying to find ways to be more effective right now. I am trying to get a spring back in my step. I am trying to attack the offensive boards and do whatever it takes to get going. |
I've already gotten a bunch, so I'm hoping it will clear up a bit. |
I've got no choice but to (watch the standings). Every time I walk into the practice facility it's right there, so I know what's going on. |
I've just tried to do my part as best I can, and down at the end there, I was lucky enough to get that stop, rebound and seal it. |
I've learned the following season is always tougher. We always get everybody's best game. But understanding that collectively is a whole different thing. It's not like we can go out there and say we are what we are and walk through the season. |
It (stinks) - especially because we really feel like we gave this one away. The last game we got beat pretty good. Tonight we come out and try to sure up a couple of things, and we still get a bunch of turnovers and missed free throws, and we still have a chance to win down the stretch and give it away. |
It has been a long journey. We felt like we would prevail because we felt like the idea was such a good idea. |
It should be a blast. To have the entire team there, (the people) are psyched. |
It started from horn to horn. We shot the ball well. We moved the ball well. Our defense was solid. |
