This was a huge win for us. To get a win on the road against a playoff caliber team is always huge.

I'm feeling pretty nasty right now. We didn't know how bad it was until after the game.

He's a great player and he made some difficult shots for them.

It was definitely good to see them. I was there for like two years with those guys. They're friends of mine, so it's nice to see them.

The Nets are the best fast-break team in the NBA. Pop was trying all sorts of stuff to get us to focus on getting back on defense.

It feels good. I went to one of my old restaurants in North Beach.

If we go 41-41, we got a lot of hardware to hand out.

We're down but we're not out.

The idea was to get [the starters] ready for how fast the Nets would [break out]. I got a chance to push the ball up the court and throw some wild passes. It was a lot of fun.
