It's early, but I really like this team, ... What you see is a bunch of professionals going out there, playing hard and doing whatever it takes to play winning basketball. That's why I was so excited about coming here.

We were in it all the way to the end. It just came down to some crucial plays at the end. It's been like that a lot lately. We just have to come together as a team and find ways to win games like this. It's coming. But it has to happen very soon.

Tim and the Spurs are going to the Virgin Islands. Tim said he had nothing to do with it. Yeah right, he just happens to be from the islands. But hey, Richmond will be just fine. We're there to work anyway.

We talked about staying loose. We were missing 30 points and nearly six assists. That's a big part of who we are and what we do. But we had to pull together and that's exactly what we did. You know when (Sacramento) heard Gilbert wasn't playing, they were extremely pleased.

Some nights it's scoring, some nights it's not. Some nights it's defending. If everybody falls in and plays their role to the best of their abilities, we don't worry about who gets credit and we're a hard team to beat.

You always pull for the underdog, and Billy works extremely hard. He comes in early and gets shots, stays after and gets shots. When game time comes around, it pays off.
