I realize it and I know what's going on. It used to really bother me, I used to let it get to me. At this point, I just go into every game knowing I'm not going to get any calls. |
I think it came down to that we beat ourselves. We wanted to win this game, and we felt like we should have won this game. |
I think it can be done. We gotta believe. But we won't have a chance if continue to blow opportunities like this one. |
I think we definitely appreciate the win, especially being short-handed. I think we appreciate it more. I hope we can get healthy as soon as possible. |
I thought all of my shots were going in. When they didn't, it starting getting frustrating. |
I thought we got a little bit stagnant, and they were able to make plays when they had to. We couldn't stop them when it counted. |
I tried to beat him to the spot, take the charge and luckily enough, I got it. That was the only play I had. |
I try to get up for the challenge of playing against great players all the time, and he's definitely one of the elite. So we'll go out there, play hard and see what happens. |
I was just real upset with the way I played in the first half and the way things were going. I just tried to approach it like it was a new game. |
I was just trying to box him out and his [first elbow] was way worse than the second one. The second one was just like a little tap. But he was trying; he was saying at the time, 'I'm going to get you back. I'm going to get you back.' I guess the ref saw it. |
I would hear about all the stories in Phoenix. Some guys said Scott's real hard. Some guys said you're going to love Scott. I didn't know what to expect. |
I wouldn't say we played that way the whole game, but for stretches we really dug down and did what we needed to do. We're a different type of team. We need a little bit of an edge for us to win. We don't have a superstar, so we have to focus on the little things, play with passion and play together as a group. |
I'm just embarrassed and disappointed by the way we played. I felt like we were getting looks, we just couldn't throw it in the ocean. It was a big game for both teams. Everybody knew it. It was just a big letdown in pretty much all aspects. |
I'm just trying my best and getting help from my teammates. During the course of a series, you can pick up on a couple of tendencies because you play a player so many times in a row. Really, I'm just competing for as long as I can. |
I'm pretty sure it will be fine. It's a little nagging, [but] it doesn't affect my shot or anything like that. |
