At that point, I've got to know who they were going to and just stay connected. |
Beating two really hot teams vying for the Pacific does send a bit of a statement. |
Dallas and us are two of the better teams in the West. There's always some emotion. |
Do we have the green light here? As far as green lights go, it's about as green as you can get. |
Everybody can speculate why we dropped the ball there in the second half, but the bottom line is we did. |
He gets 50 and we win the game. At the end of the day, I am OK with that. Even though it (stinks) to have 50 dropped on you, if we win, I've done my job. I really don't give a (darn) if he respects me. If I can keep him preoccupied on beating me 1-on-1, then the four other guys aren't getting shots and that plays into our hands. |
He was barreling, barreling and started pushing me so I just pulled him down with me. It's a good thing the ref saw him pushing me first because I just took him to the ground so he wouldn't get a rebound. |
He was settling for some shots I thought. As a defender, you hope he does that. But he got it going in the fourth quarter. A guy like that is just going to keep forcing the issue until he finds it, and you've just got to hold on. |
He's so good at breaking down defenses and making them collapse that all you have to do is find that open seam and get in his vision. You trust that once you're in his vision, sooner or later he's going to find you, and from there it's being in rhythm and shooting. His presence out there is what opens that whole thing up. |
He's the icing on the cake, so we're just the cake right now. |
I don't have a whole lot to say about this one. That was a team that was hungry. . . . Sometimes, the wounded animals are the most dangerous. |
I don't know what (the problem) is; I'm not a coach. |
I don't know, man. It's tough. Just understand that your time will come. A lot of guys who are superstars today went through similar situations, so you just have to grin and bear it. |
I don't know. We'll have to go back to the drawing board and see what we can get done for Sunday. |
I don't remember Game 4. That's how you have to be. You have to let it go. |
