We were really focused tonight. Even after the game, we were all businesslike. We did what we set out to do, and now we're just trying to move forward. |
We were totally knocked on our heels. |
We would like to think that everything we're doing now is geared toward the playoffs. We know we're better than how we've been playing lately. It's been good to talk about the race with San Antonio, but we have to worry about getting back on track. |
We're just focused on achieving our goals, and that's to continue to get better for the playoffs. |
We're much better than what we showed tonight, especially late in the game. We normally close games out a lot better than what we did. |
We're playing the world champions and we're trying to get something they have. If anybody tries to downplay it, that's all you're doing – trying to downplay it – because this is a statement game. |
We're spoiled. We're at a point now where we expect to win them all. We're among the top teams in the Western Conference, if not the top team. We expect to win all the time. |
We're still a great team in a great position. We still have a lot that we want to prove once the playoffs get here, no matter what seed we are or who we're playing. But I'm kind of glad the Golden State Warriors aren't one of the eight (playoff teams). We've had a tough time against them this year. |
We've been doing it all season. It's become who we are. We feel we can win those kind of games. |
We've been here a long time. We seem to tighten things up on the road. We've been experiencing a little bit of a lull. But we played good basketball for a lot longer stretch than we've been playing not-so-good basketball. |
When you've got a system that works, it doesn't matter the pieces. But it's a lot better when you've got all the pieces working. |
Whenever you're fighting for those top spots, it's always good to be able to beat those top teams. And after the break, we haven't done that. We beat these teams before the break, [but] everybody is better in the second half than they are the first half. |
Yeah, you know what I'm saying: Keep it coming, keep it coming. It's all good. |
You have to teach him the Bill Russell rule and tap it to yourself so we can get on the break. |
You will get a lot of each other. That will happen in the next three or four weeks. We want to put a little doubt in their minds. |
