I came in the league as not a shooter, not a scorer. My game was to play defense and make my teammates better. The most important stat to me was that left column - winning. Nothing else matters.
The 76ers currently play very good basketball, and we don't. However, we are still only one win behind them. If we continue to improve, we should be on the top of our division at the end of the regular season.
Winning can get boring. Hopefully we learned that tonight, giving up 37 points in that fourth quarter.
Hopefully, it will be a wake-up call for us. The big thing is for to continue to get better and play for 48 minutes. (The winning streak) is great but it can also be dangerous if you become complacent and feel you can turn it on when you want.
You can't say winning is boring. Hopefully we learned that tonight, giving up 37 points in that fourth quarter, we almost pulled the plug. Hopefully that will be a wake-up call for us.
For the guys who were here before with the 14-game winning streak, we would love to try to tie that or break that. That is hopefully a goal we are setting.
Winning is the best deodorant.
Every team that I've gone to has had trouble winning games. I guess that's what I've been put on this earth to do, to fix it.
