This game was ours. We did all the right things. |
This game, we had the win, and we gave it away. |
This was an important win for us. In our standards, this was like a throwback game defensively. So, it was what we needed. I think this team needed this win. |
This was by far the worst, the toughest. I'll second-guess every decision I made, and everything we did. |
Tonight was good because it was against a team that had to win. When we got down, we could have gone the other way. It was a conscious choice by our guys to stay in the game. I was really proud of them. |
Tony Dungy is as classy a human being as you will ever know. This is a tough one. I don't know how a team gets through that, to be honest. |
Turnovers killed us. Some guys came with great effort, and some guys had their minds and luggage on the plane. |
Wade was sensational. We said at halftime that he would try to take the game over in the second half, and he did. He's a special player. |
Wally and Paul played so well off each other. Well, everybody did a great job. The defense, at times, was really good with the rotations, and I just thought the ball moved great. |
We chose to make him a decision-maker instead of a scorer in the fourth quarter. |
We didn't play well. One of the referees said this was one of the ugliest games he's seen in quite some time. And I told him I agree, but I wanted it to look pretty for us at the end. Unfortunately it didn't. |
We gave away so many opportunities with the turnovers. They didn't score on them, but they took us out of scoring. I thought we played so passive in all three of the overtimes once we got the lead. We were trying to hold on to the lead instead of being aggressive. |
We got great shots and didn't make them, but that might have been because of last night (in Miami). Last night was up and down, and tonight was slow. I liked tonight's tempo, because we didn't have the legs to do it again. |
We got key stops and we made key baskets. |
We had our chances tonight in the game that we never really played great, never had any offensive rhythm. We had one stretch where we did; other than that, we didn't and we just didn't come through. |
