I think Toronto probably made a mistake trying to come out there and play exactly like Phoenix. You can't do that. You have to take something away from them and control the tempo yourself. You can't let them control the tempo. |
I was a little more motivated for the win. |
I was a little more motivated for the win. It was my first finals. To lose like we did, I'm going to remember it for the rest of my life. |
I'm kind of sad and down about that. |
I've got to work on them. I was like a foreigner on the free-throw line. |
I've never seen him make shots like that. |
It was like practice out there the last two games. I think everything we did was on point. I think we're clicking on all cylinders, shooting the ball well, playing good defense. I think overall, I'd grade us an A tonight. |
It'll make it a little easier on us. |
My legs are starting to get back under me. I'm getting my rhythm back and I'm just going out there to play. Not really thinking about it. |
Rip is on one leg out there, so we have to pick up the slack. |
The last couple of weeks I have been feeling a lot more confident. I know it's time to get serious now. I don't want to fall short like we did last year. I am just trying to be focused and get more focused until the playoffs get here. |
They definitely believe in getting up and down the court. |
We didn't take them lightly at all. A team like that has nothing to lose, so we decided to come out and play hard in the beginning. |
We just tried to show that we're the best team. |
We'll see how it turns out. You can only be yourself. I hope Flip [doesn't] feel any pressure from us. |
