I don’t know what’s wrong with that girl. |
I feel amazing. If they play straight up, I'm going to try and hurt them. |
I guess they realized that in this league, to get far in the playoffs, you have to be more physical and play better at the defensive end. I don't think they did that in the past. It doesn't matter if you do it in the regular season. You got to do it in the playoffs. That's when all the eyes are on you. |
I had to take this game on my shoulders. The last few games that we were right there, I didn't produce down the last five minutes. I had to be a little more aggressive and luckily thinks worked out well. |
I haven't felt any (pain) today and that's what I was looking for. We were looking for release from a lot of the fatigue and all that soreness that I had, and it's worked pretty well. |
I just took the day off to get my legs back and get my knees back. Whatever it takes to do that, I'll do. I'm not too worried about it. We'll see what happens (tonight). |
I knew they were not very fast off their feet and that they are very foul-prone - they put you on the line a lot. I knew if I tried to take them off the dribble and attacked early, it would open up for me and my teammates. |
I know that if I perform at a really high level, we're going to have a better chance to win. If I score 10, 15 points and have five or seven rebounds in a game, we probably are not going to win. I just need to get more aggressive and let my teammates feel all that energy and all that emotion. |
I see happy people on this team, who are excited to come to work and be a part of this team, working together to get somewhere. I don't see selfish guys, who are worrying about themselves and their situations. We have guys happy to share and doing whatever it takes to win. That is what we've lacked in previous years. |
I take my hat off to Vazquez, |
I took it hard to the rim. I knew I had enough time to make a move or even change directions if I had to. I made a tough shot and we got a great win here. |
I wasn't going to settle. I tried to attack (Duncan). I didn't have a great game but it didn't mean I didn't want to get to the rim. |
I wasn't trying to settle for a shot. I wanted to get to the rim and get a win for my team. I just wanted to be aggressive. |
I'll take the spirit we had. I was just trying to be aggressive and physical. |
I've got to be a little more aggressive, bring it from the beginning. We can't afford to have a first half like we did the first game. |
