You don't prove yourself until the playoffs. Detroit and Miami are the two best teams in the conference, and until someone knocks them off, they're still the two best teams in the conference. |
You give them credit. They played good defense. Some shots didn't fall down for us. Fortunately, it's not the best-of-1. |
You got to want it more than them. When the ball got loose, I thought I might have gotten fouled but I am not going to look around, I am not going to complain. I am going to grab that ball and keep going until they call it. We had more of that tonight. |
You have to get it done in the playoffs before people talk about what you accomplished. |
You know, we lost (Game 1), we give them all the credit. It's unfortunate that when we win, it's because of other things. You have to play against different people certain ways. Jason Collins and Cliff Robinson are doing a good job. It's unfortunate he believes that. |
You might struggle on the road or you might lose a home game or two, but this is new to us, and new to me. |
You try and win as many games as you possibly can. If in that time you catch them, then you catch them. |
You try to make it difficult, but he's going to shoot more than anybody else in the league. You try to defend him so he doesn't go for 50 or more. If he gets 40, that's his average, basically. |
