We were more aggressive in the second half. I just did not want us to lose. I do what I can to help my team win. I was just doing what I can to help my team win. |
We weren't as focused as we should have been, especially defensively because we know this is a great offensive team. |
We worked out at the same gym in Chicago, and I was on him the whole summer trying to get him to come down here. He was pretty close, but his decision was to go to the Spurs, and you can't be mad at his decision. |
We're going to miss Eddie a lot, the defense he brought and the way he chased guys around the court. I want to see who's going to do that. |
We're not really looking at teams' records. We just want to come in and get better and we can't relax. This is the NBA. |
We're still looking. We hope it will come. If it doesn't come soon, we'll have an early vacation. |
We've got enough firepower to win without him. If one person goes down, the other guys have to step up. |
We've got it now, you know? We've got what we need to do to win. |
Whatever we're most dominant at in the series, that's what we want to do. It may turn out we're most dominant in the post, so that's what we'll do. |
When a guy's 6-8, raises as high as he does and fades on his shot, you just try to do the best that you can to put a hand in his face. He made big shots for them. |
When another team is at home and they've got that rhythm going at the end you never know what can happen. |
When Shaq is in the game, I see four (defenders). When he's out, I see five guys. |
Y'all might have made him mad. I think y'all lit a fire under him, so that's good. |
Yeah, man, I'm going to be in Vegas no matter what next year. No matter what happens, I'm in Vegas next year. |
You (the media) might have made him (O'Neal) mad. I think you all lit a fire under him. He's been playing well the last couple of games. We have to find him more. We came out trying to get him the ball early. He led us to victory. |
