If I was a flat out scorer, maybe I'd want to keep playing. But my job is to get everybody involved and do what I do best. For me, it's to be ready to go once the next season starts. |
If we can stay healthy and try to get better each time, hopefully we can be there in late June. |
In that third quarter, we fell asleep at the wheel and they kept playing and they got easy baskets. When a team like Detroit gets easy baskets, you're in for a long night. |
In the back of your mind, you have confidence that you have done something right and you can look at it on tape. But at the end of the day, it is 0-0 (in the playoffs) and the first one to four. |
In the first game, we kind of were a little passive. Tonight, I think we all understood that we couldn't go down two-love on our home court. So I think we came out with the intentions of playing defense for 48 minutes, and that's what we did. |
In the second half, we were a totally different team. We found some energy on defense and that helped us win the game. |
Indiana is a tough place to play. We need to go in and find a way to win on the road just like they did to us. |
Indiana is a very talented team. We respect those guys. |
Indiana is a very talented team. We respect those guys. They have a lot of talent over there. In my mind, they're not a sixth seed. They are one of the top teams in the East. We're going to have to play our best to beat those guys. |
It doesn't matter if it's Game 1, Game 2, Game 3 or a Game 7, they're all important. We'll have to try to eliminate our mistakes and get ready for Game 4. |
It gave us a chance to regroup and understand what got us there, and that was playing defense. |
It gives us a hidden weapon. |
It is not against Byron. Unfortunately we should have done it a lot earlier, and it hasn't happened that way. We just happen to play Coach Scott [tonight]. |
It just shows his maturity, his growth in his second year. He's shown he can play inside and out and that makes us a dangerous team. |
It kinda caught us off-guard. As the game went along, we started to understand what was open. There was a period where we were just settling, but in the long haul, we made the right adjustments at the right time. |
