We played at a real high level again. Tremendous amount of energy, spirit and ball movement, but we didn't finish. That disturbs me and it should disturb our players after working so hard and playing so well. |
We played at a real high level with a lot of energy. But we didn't finish. That disturbs me — It should disturb our players — but we're ahead 2-0. |
We played the game very well offensively. So much better than we did (in Friday's loss) against San Antonio. |
We played, I thought, at a real, real high level again. We came out and respected the hell out of them. |
We pounded that ball down in the paint. |
We simply got it handed to us. |
We started to play very well at the end of the quarter and from that point on defensively we did a good job. We moved the ball real well and had other guys stepping up. I thought Antoine was really good tonight and we got the win. |
We thought we were going to win. We can play with anyone when we're really in it and focused mentally on what we have to take away from a team like that. |
We traded a lot, but we got back three quality players. Antoine Walker is one of the very best multi-faceted, versatile players in this game. ... He is able to handle the ball, pass it, make plays, shoot 3's and rebound the ball. There isn't anyone in this league better at doing that. |
We wanted Damon. We felt this was the best place for him. What they wanted, we were unwilling to do. We traded for a starting point guard. How much are you willing to pay a backup? |
We weathered the storm. That's it. |
We were a minute and a half away from the Finals -- big deal, ... It's about winning a championship. |
We were fortunate that [Deng] missed the shot. |
We were fortunate that he (Deng) missed the shot. We didn't want Gordon to beat us. |
We were hanging on, and we have to give him credit. He just stepped up. He wasn't that mobile, but he did have an effect once he got a little bit warm. He had a great fourth quarter. |
