Give the Clippers credit. They tried to take the ball out of my hands. We missed shots we normally make. We kept fighting and kept competing. I feel very good about this series.
If we win playing ugly ball, we'll take it.
We match up with them pretty good, despite how the record turned out when we played them throughout the season. I look forward to playing the Clippers. Playoff basketball is a lot of excitement. It's going to be fun, especially in L.A.
We're on a roll right now. Hopefully, we can continue this confidence-building.
We've got to roll with it and just move on. Everybody's got to pick up the slack.
I got some treatment (Saturday). I got some rest. I got a lot of treatment. I got some ice and massages on my side. They said it was going to hurt. . . . It keeps getting banged up. I just got to fight through it.
I didn't mind sitting out in the fourth at all. We did a good job of holding a lead and we held their starters to just 29 points.
I didn't get hit in my nose, more around my eye, and across the bridge of my nose. I didn't feel it in my nose, I felt it in my forehead.
I don't even know what happened out there, it was all so fast.
I don't know what it is about Memphis, but we always seem to come out and play good against them.
I couldn't sleep last night due to the pain. I tried to go out there and play tonight, but by the third quarter it started tightening up on me.
Having three, four power forwards out there on our team, being so deep at that position, at this point, it really doesn't matter.
He's a good defender. Everybody knows that. . . . We'll see how it turns out.
He's been a big influence. He's got a lot of knowledge.
