If there's any coach in America, in the world, who could figure out how to control momentum, all of our records would be better than they are. (Momentum) is a phenomenon. Guys talk about being in a 'zone,' but I haven't seen a team shoot the ball that well for a game. It was impressive. |
In both games, we've had a number of good looks ... but we haven't hit them and it's just snowballed. |
It's constantly in the back of my mind. Fortunately, there are very few of us who've been in this situation, but I think the only way to go about this is with extreme caution. It's uncharted waters. |
It's to the point where he knows it's not going to go (out), so he's crossed a major hurdle. He's just going to get better every day. |
Leonard's done an outstanding job despite playing out of position, particularly on the defensive end. This will allow him to step out and utilize his perimeter game he's so effective at. |
Mark's agent called and said Mark felt he was not really going to reach his ultimate goal of getting called back up to the NBA and wanted to explore other options. Mark really played well for us. |
Most betting people wouldn't have thought we'd win this series. From Day 1, we've preached 'team' and that's very hard to do in professional sports because a lot of them have agendas -- to get out of here and to the NBA. |
Ronny has lifted attendance. This is uncharted waters having a young man in here who just had open-heart surgery, so I told him we had to keep our lines of communication open. ... I'd be lying if I said I didn't have some concern. |
Someone gets hot (in the playoffs). Our problems were all on offense. We were never able to get into an offensive rhythm. |
That's a bonus when the bench plays so well. |
That's playoff basketball. You've got to get it done on the defensive end and make plays down the stretch. |
That's veterans getting the job done. That's why they're here. They've gotten it done their entire careers. |
The doctor thinks he's still a week away. |
The last two games, in the final three quarters, we're playing the game the way it's supposed to be played ? as a team. |
There's no question fatigue has played a role in our sluggishness. |
