We knew it was going to be a grind-it-out game. It's always been every time that we have played Milwaukee. |
We know we can't stop him. We want to try and contain him and make other guys on their team beat us. Their team stepped up. |
We made some good stops and we contested their shots. I think last time we played them they shot around 60 percent. W were able to contest those shots and we were able to attack and get a lead and we didn't let go. |
We needed some time off. We'd been on the road for a week. It was a good practice, guys had their legs coming off the day off and we came in with the focus to get ready and get some wins. |
We played as well as we could and gave a great effort. They have a lot more firepower than us. |
We shot terrible tonight. It's not like we didn't have good shots. We had great looks ... You have to give it to them. They made us look bad. |
We stopped playing our No. 1 point guard for no reason, and as a team we didn't know why. The chemistry has all been shifted. That bothered me. You got (McInnis) sitting on the bench and we're losing. |
We want to be an elite team and we have to learn how. The feeling I had last year at this time is totally different. It is a whole different environment this year. He (Brown) knows what I want from the team and I know what he wants. |
We wanted to be mentally focused and not give a team like Portland back into the game. We closed the game out. |
We wanted to be mentally focused. We didn't want to give Portland a chance to get back in it. We did a great job of closing it out. |
We were down early, but we didn't lose confidence in our game. We just knew we could make a run and we did a great job of doing it. |
We were down three with eight seconds left and I come down the court and I was doubled. Flip (Murray) was wide open and I got him the ball. |
We were very excited to have 'Z' come in and play well. We missed him the other night. Tonight we executed and made the big shots. |
We will get it together. We know we're a good team. |
We won. That's all that matters to me. |
