arrived bus cleveland
When we arrived in Cleveland (Monday) we were in the back of the bus and we said we know Gilbert is going to come out and have a big game, so it's on us. We didn't play well in the first game.
fed losing
We're fed up with this losing already. It's not something we're going to get used to.
bit coming couple halftime karl last locker longer retirement weaknesses
We didn't want to come out flat. That was one of our weaknesses over the last couple of weeks, coming out after halftime flat. With the Karl Malone retirement and everything, we were in (the locker room) a little bit longer than usual. (We had to) come out and get some buckets quick.
early opportunity
When things go bad, they go all the way bad. That's good. We got an opportunity to feel that early on in the playoffs.
billy bleeding came eight free great left picked played quick seconds stopped wiped
I think that was real big. I was bleeding and they wiped me up real quick and stopped the bleeding for about eight seconds and I was able to get my free throws. I went back (for stitches) and Billy just came in and played great basketball. He picked it up where I left off.
demands either gets great job passing people reading situation
He is the most effective, not when he's scoring, but when he gets other people involved. He demands a double-team every night. He did a great job of reading the situation and either going to the rim or passing it off. He's a superstar.
ability doubt successful
We're confident. We don't doubt our ability to go out and have a successful trip.
dying
When they say I can go back out there, I'll be back out there. I'm dying to play.
hope achieve
He who expects not to achieve will never do so.
