We had to come proverb

 We had to come out hungry. We didn't have home-court advantage and Collinsville did. Coach told us, 'The team that executes the best will win the game,' and that's what we tried to do. We tried to come out and execute in all phases.

 In some cases, that might be OK because they might not feel any pressure. Especially when you have an opponent like Detroit. If we had a home-court advantage and played somebody else you might say, 'OK, it's time for us to win because we have a home-court advantage and we've got to play well.' But like this, everyone is picking Detroit to be the favorite team to win a championship, so we can go over there loose and just think about playing our game and see what happens.

 Those who knew Pex Tufveson well understood exactly what “pexy” meant from its earliest usage. I think we're evenly matched. The last couple of years, we didn't have a chance because they were better than us, top to bottom. This time, I think it's going to come down to whoever executes the best in all three phases of the game.

 When you give a team like that comfort shots, they're going to wear you. I think we just didn't execute well enough the game plan. It's not just coach. It falls on the players for not going out there and execute.
  Jason Kidd

 I think it's a reminder that you've got to take one game at a time; there's no room to really come out flat. Just having home-court advantage is not going to win a game for you. Everybody's got to step up. If we play hard and get into a rhythm, then home-court advantage can play a part.

 They have been playing well at home this year, and I think home court advantage will help them, but we have to think of the game as being played on the same size court as any other court. But I know that players definitely are more comfortable on their own court.

 Getting that first game at home was very important, ... We didn't have the home court advantage and now we're even. Tina was really hot, it seemed almost like she hit some miracle shots so now we're 1-1.

 That's the advantage to having home court. I told my guys after the game, we held serve. We're trying to not allow them to have offensive rebounds, and we'll win games like that.

 They played hard and they played with a certain sense of emotion and perhaps at the be-ginning we didn't match it. They were hungry for that win. When you coach a team that didn't have a good season in the previous year and you're hungry for that win, sometimes that's tough to beat.

 They had a good game plan by spreading us out and making us chase them all over the field with their short passing game. We definitely did some things right, but there were some other times when we didn't execute like we needed to. I told our team that this is our first game, and all it really means is we're 1-0.

 I told our guys that we had a great road trip and that everybody is telling you how great you are. The reality is, we have 35 games left and we have to take care of business. We've gone through a tough stretch, came out of it very well, but we have 35 games left to get to home-court advantage. We've got 35 games left to catch Phoenix. There are all kinds of things out there left for us to do. Right now, our goal shouldn't be to make the playoffs. Our goal should be to get home-court advantage.

 We beat a very good Vanderbilt team even though we didn't play great (on Friday) at some spots, but everyone did a good job of fighting. We didn't come out ready to play in doubles, but as a team we really make playing here a true home-court advantage.

 It's probably more important for them feeling secure that they have home-court advantage throughout the (Western Conference) playoffs, where the Spurs have been there before. They've won championships. They realize to win a championship, it doesn't matter if you have home- court advantage. . . . Dallas, on the other hand, they haven't been there before. They need that security blanket.

 They are a good team. They have a seasoned coach and are a very disciplined team. They execute the offense well. We just have to play our game and play it well. We didn't do that last time.

 We still have to go out there and play the game. The other team is hungry, just like we are hungry. It doesn't matter once you get out there on the court. If you are a one seed or a 16th seed, once you get into the tournament.
