It's a little bit more up-tempo because they've got guys healthy now.
bad best good miss played proud shots small
I thought we had a good look. It was too bad it didn't go in. We did the best we could with Yao with the small lineup we played with. We made Yao miss some shots and I was proud of our team.
bad basketball confidence floor good knowing knows seeing teammates
He's got a good feel now about seeing the floor and knowing where his teammates are. And he's got a lot more confidence in his teammates. He knows it's bad basketball to try to go one-on-three.
careful missed
I'll be careful what I say. He missed shots.

That was our low point of the season.
answer dropping high level played
I thought Brendan played better in November; he's dropping off a little bit. We need Brendan to come back and play at a high level for us. I just don't have an answer why there is some slippage there.

bad coming energy game good outside situations stuff talked
Coming into this game, we talked about being more energized, more enthusiastic and have more camaraderie, and that was the most important thing. All the things we didn't see in the first game -- outside of the stats -- we just didn't have enough energy and enthusiasm. We didn't have that and that is the stuff that is going to get you out of a lot of bad situations and put you in a good one.
chance experience good last ourselves winning year
It is good that we had the experience last year of going down 0-2 and winning the series. We don't want to do that this year. We don't think that is a good formula. I think we are going to show up better and give ourselves a better chance of winning.
attacks best bit early help home knows players
I think he may be more aggressive. He's a little bit different at home - he attacks early and often. But he knows that the best players help their teammates, and that's what he's been doing.
