We would drive and kick it to guys with wide-open looks but couldn't get anything to fall. For the most part we played good defense, but you have to be near perfect on the defensive end to have a chance the way we were shooting.

We're getting there. Late in the game, when we needed shots and we needed stops, they were there.
|
We're in the playoffs? Man, that's cool.
|
We're not sitting up here, jumping up and down like we won a championship. When things are going well, you can't act like you're surprised they are.
|
We're not very mentally tough. We're not very physically tough. It's consistent. At some point in time you've got to get mad.

We've really struggled in the second quarter the last couple games. (Tonight) we did OK in the first quarter, but then their bench comes in and we struggle. I'm not sure why, but we have to figure it out.

We've shown improvement and I believe our schedule gets a little more favorable. If we keep everybody healthy, I believe we can (win 50). I think we're going to be a team that makes a real good push. Sometimes, people forget about what we can do.
|
We've spoiled people early. We could win the rest of our games, but we're going to be judged by how we play in the playoffs. This is good. This is great. But we understand that's how we're going to be judged.

When it came to scoring, which a lot of people have problems with, I really let him take that role. I took that secondary stuff.
|
When your defense falls, sometimes your offense can be part of the problem. We were taking some questionable shots that were leading to easy transition baskets on their end.
|
Yeah, but we know it (a big game) is coming. We have a lot of faith in him. We're going to continue to give him the ball. We're going to continue playing through him. He's had success against Miami, especially the last time we played against him. So hopefully this game can get him going.
|
You can do that because you won the first game. Just wait until after Game 2.
|
You can't do that (stuff) on the road. You can't get yourself down on the road and think you're going to get the benefit of the doubt on calls. You can't think that.
|
You can't make excuses for missing a player. They just wanted it more and they were more aggressive.
|
You come to expect it (playing 40 minutes).
