It makes you want to do the same things that he's doing. You feed off of that.
I've been a starter in this league a long time. I've come off the bench some years, too. I've been effective at both. So for me to step in in the absence of somebody and start and be effective, that shouldn't be a surprise to no one.
It had to come to an end, sooner or later. It's time for us to bounce back and play hard against two potential playoff opponents (Milwaukee and Chicago) on the road. We have to be at our best once again.
We did a much better job of contesting his shots. He did a really good job at creating space and was able to knock down a few shots, but with Speedy, you want to try and make him into a jump shooter first, but you have to contest those shots.
We've got to continue to try and keep winning. We've just got to try and keep building on what we're doing.
You never have to worry about him throwing you under the bus to the media. He'll tell you what he thinks to your face, but he's totally got your back.
The second half, we did a good job of forcing those guys out of what they like to do. We did a much better job in the second half at making the extra pass instead of trying to take too much on a one-of-one situation.
Now it's up to us to make the adjustments.
I keep telling everyone, I've never been the type of guy who can take two shots and I'm going to hit them. I need to get some looks.
Definitely we feel we can play with them. Miami, we've played well against them. Detroit, they've played well, but we know we're capable of beating them. For us to go in and get one on their home floor would say something.
