We didn't play that great, but we got it done. Sixty wins, that sounds good. |
We didn't want to be too much in transition because we were already tired coming into the game. We had the tempo where we needed it to be. |
We don't like to rely on it, but everybody knows we can turn it on. We're one of those teams that have an extra gear on both ends. |
We enjoy that challenge of beating a team on their own turf, when their fans are going crazy and screaming for them like they should. We enjoy that challenge and that level of competition. |
We enjoy the challenge of beating teams on their home turf. The fans will be going crazy and screaming for them like they should, and the Bucks will be feeding off that. We enjoy that level of competition. |
We faced some adverse situations out there. |
We feel like we have a special group of guys in here. Any time we have a chance to do something special, to get into those (record) books, that gives people something to remember us by, you know? We want that, man. We want to be a group that people will remember around here for a long time. |
We felt we had a chance to win this series, but nobody else felt that. We knew we were the only ones who believed in us. |
We get a little bored sometimes. Anytime something like that happens it fuels our fire. |
We go back to the hotel instead of to the airplane. |
We got beat at some of our own things. Energy, aggressiveness, hitting the boards, they beat us at all of that. |
We got longer, younger and more athletic. This year we played a little more up-tempo than we did last year. |
We had a few options. With 0.8 seconds [remaining], you've got to get something really quick. There's no better guy in the league to get that shot than Rip Hamilton. That's his bread and butter. |
We had a nice little streak, but it's not that we lost it, it's the way we lost it. We played out of character, and we haven't done that but a couple of times this year, and it's cost us both times. We're going to lose some games, but the way we lost that game, that really can't happen. |
We had control, but we missed a couple shots, they made a couple, a couple of calls didn't go our way and they got back in it. They won it with a good shot from Paul Pierce. Tough shot. |
