They jumped on us early. They knocked us on our behinds. The guys found a way to respond. Our defense stepped up in the second half. |
They just kick our behinds. They showed us what playoff basketball is about, and it was good for us. |
They just kicked our behinds. They showed us what playoff basketball is all about. |
They let you stick around a little, think you can run with them, then they kick it up another notch. |
They showed us what playoff basketball is about. It was good for us to go through. We've experienced some ups and downs in the past and we've bounced back before. So I'm going to spin this into a positive and say that this butt-kicking was a good lesson for us on both ends of the floor. |
They showed us what playoff basketball is all about. It will be good for us to have gone through this if we learn from it. |
They tell me I have a good shot at starting but that is just talk. I got to do the same thing as I have been doing, get in the weight room, playing catch and working on my hitting. They are a young team and they are looking for guys to step up. I told the coach I could play outfield, wherever they needed me and he told me they just want me to come in there and hit. |
They were running two guys at him, and he still made plays. |
They will rotate with our senior staff. I made five positions because we have five senior staff members. |
They won the series. I would want to play us, too. |
They're a talented team. You're not going to necessarily stop any of those guys. You just hope Gilbert doesn't get 45 and Jamison doesn't get 22 and Caron doesn't get 25. If they do, you're in trouble. |
This game had absolutely nothing to do with our shooting. This was about not being able to guard. |
This game had nothing to do with shooting. They scored 116 points and we scored 107 on 47% from the field. This is how Philly wants to play. They want to get out and they want to run and have a wide-open game. They want to win with a lot of points on the board. |
This guy is amazing. How do you score 46 points shooting 16-of-23 from the field? That's mind-boggling. |
This is a much different team. We're better than the 2001 team. I'd say we're five times better. |
