We can't be satisfied with just tying up the series with this win. We're going to probably see this team somewhere down the road in the playoffs. |
We didn't want to let down after last night. We got them on their heels early and kept it up. |
We don't have to deal with staying on the West Coast for an extra day or traveling overnight to get home. That's big for us, I think. |
We don't have to depend on Dirk in every game. We have guys on this team who can do a lot of things. |
We don't worry about what San Antonio is doing. We know we're a playoff team and we'll see how things fall. |
We got a lot of guys who can get it done. We're still a little shorthanded. But if we get those guys back against San Antonio, it'll be even better. |
We got a lot to be upset about. We weren't the team we were for the last 20-some games. We were stagnant, didn't move the ball, Dirk wasn't himself, letting Bruce Bowen get under his skin. He's better than that. We're better than that. So everybody is taking their fair share of responsibility for that game. We all did uncharacteristic things. |
We have to focus on setting our rotation on how we're going to play in the playoffs. Hopefully it will be a good indication of what our rotation will be once playoff basketball starts. We trust [Johnson]. |
We have yet to play our best basketball. That?s a good sign to be up 2-0 and not have hit on all cylinders yet. |
We just focused on coming out in the second half and not letting up. We wanted to try extend our lead as opposed to just exchanging baskets. |
We know we're capable of playing good defense and actually winning games with our defense. I think Game 1 was indicative of that and (in) Game 2, we were able to get in a good flow offensively, as well as put good defense on them in the second half. |
We might have lost three games but look who we lost to. It was a different stage for us, and we got knocked back on our heels. |
We need to free our minds, get in hotels and build that camaraderie. It's still there, but I think that it goes up on the road. I'm looking forward to a nice dinner with the guys (Wednesday). |
We still have a lot to prove. Once the playoffs get here, it doesn't matter what seed we are or who we are playing. I am glad that the Golden State Warriors are not one of the eight teams going because we have had a tough time against them this year. They are a difficult team to play. They have nothing to lose. They have something to build on for next year. Our only concern is us. |
We were just not in the game. We were totally knocked on our heels in the first half. |
