Juan Dixon Good Quotations

I was right there and watched the whole time. It looked good -- just came up short.

He has a lot of confidence. I watched him knock down shots like that in the past. Steve is a good shooter. He's a pass-first point guard. A lot of people out there don't get to see it, but he can definitely knock down big shots when he has his opportunity.

I think guys are learning defensive principles and where they're supposed to be on the basketball court. So hopefully we can go out there and execute on the defensive end. It's a good challenge for us to see where we are.

It feels good going into each and every game knowing when you are going into the game, ... I know here, coach is looking to put me in around the three- or four-minute mark of the first quarter. Last year, I had no idea. You could never get a feel for the rotation.

All my shots were flat. We didn't shoot the ball well as a team (39 percent) but we still had an opportunity at the end. We had a couple bad plays and that's all it takes against a good team.
