I've been seeing everything (on defense). It's just another team and another defender.
It was tough to come out. I didn't want to come out. I felt like I had it going on. I guess (Karl) felt I needed a rest or something like that.
It was an ugly win, no doubt about it. But we just kept our composure. We wanted to play hard from beginning to end.
It was a broken play. We didn't have anything when they jumped out on our pick- and-roll. I wanted to take the last shot whether I missed it or I made it, which I didn't. I've made more than I've missed at the end of the game.
Earl came through big for us. He came out of his ... I don't want to call it a slump, but he came out of his shell tonight.
The whole series was kind of an embarrassing moment. They didn't just beat us by two or three points in the games they won. They beat us by, like, 20. That's embarrassing.
I've never seen anybody shoot like that. There is really nothing you can do about it.
Sometimes (the padding) doesn't even work - depending on who (hits) it.
This one hurts worse than the other two. We have issues. I saw guys who did not want to be here and play in this game. We did not play playoff basketball in this series.
We should have put them away earlier than we did. For my teammates to step up and hit shots helped me out tonight.
We should have put them away a little earlier than we did. They stuck around in the fourth quarter for a little bit, I'm just glad we got the win.
Every time we play San Antonio, it's always going to be tough. They send two or three people at me. . . . I knew my shot wasn't going down from the outside. I just tried to keep going to the hole and get some fouls.
They're trying to bring the whole team. I wouldn't be surprised if they bring (former Cincinnati coach Bob) Huggins up here.
They started trash talking out there. It woke us up. We started to get up and down the court. ... I was pointing at the Memphis TV guys. They was talking trash, too.
