They are scaring a whole lot of teams.
There was no way I could have taken the final shot tonight. They had three people right there, and Earl Watson was wide open.
You saw us playing the way we have to play down the stretch. The way we must play the rest of the way.
You're kind of embarrassed when you lose like that.
Now I do. I never really listened to them (before). Just seeing their merchandise and listening to them here and there (has given him an appreciation).
As a team, we didn't forget about him. Probably the fans and somebody else forgot about him.
They shot . . . near 80 percent out there. Everybody had a hot hand. It was hard to adjust our defense to everybody out there.
We ran pretty well (Monday night). I don't think we ran as well as we wanted to. But we ran pretty well.
We let three slip away. That's over. That's behind us. We know this is a new year. New goals. New attitudes.
We knew they were going to make a run, we weren't going to be able to keep a (big) lead on them. They made a run, they made a big run in the third, but we kept our composure.
We knew they were going to make a run but we kept our composure and finished off the game. It was a great game out there.
Reggie is a (great) block-out guy and Ruben will go down there and battle. Sometimes, the ball just seems to fall right in my hands.
I wasn't going to miss no time, not in a game like that.
I live for stuff like that, getting the ball in the last seconds. Whether I make the shot or miss it, I would rather put that pressure on me.
