believed kept knew stayed took
We took daggers early, but we knew if we stayed with it, we would come back. We just kept going at them, kept fighting, and believed in each other.
finish road trip
This (six-game) road trip is more important than anything. We have to come out strong. If we can come out strong, we will finish strong.
felt stopped
you can't be stopped and you don't think you can be stopped. That's how I felt tonight.
battle chance eastern five hopefully percent playing rest seal spot talent team time tomorrow until worst
We are not playing tomorrow so I'll have a chance to rest it and hopefully I can get back to about 80 percent before we play Philadelphia. Until we seal up that five spot (in the Eastern Conference), there will be no rest. I just have to keep going full-throttle until we get that five seed. We're getting banged up at the worst time and it's going to be a battle the rest of the way, but we have enough talent on this team to keep winning.
everybody fans fun love might passing people
Well, you didn't make it. There were people here before you. We're just passing through like everybody else. You might as well have fun with everyone you can - media, fans - and they'll love you back.
caught hitting nights shoot six tube turn
When you turn on the tube you see him hitting six 3s in a game, so you know he can shoot the ball. And this was just one of those nights when he caught fire.
ball playing solid turning
We're not turning the ball over now and we're playing solid defense.
absolutely crucial means miss sudden trouble
We absolutely miss him. He is crucial to what we do. When you get used to having someone like that and then all of a sudden you don't have him, it means you have to adjust. We're having trouble adjusting.
hard rest whose
We're battling. It's going to be like this the rest of the way. It's going to be hard to tell whose 4,5,6, or 7 -- you just have to keep going.
worst
We're getting banged up at the worst time.
bad correct foot habits last ourselves sewing shooting start time
We're just shooting ourselves in the foot right now and we have to correct it. It's about time we start sewing up all our bad habits in the last 26 games.
goal
We're confident. Our goal was to get one of these (first) two (games in Cleveland). We got one and they come to us.
goal good home
We're confident. Our goal was to get one of these two (games at The Q). We got one, and they come to (our place). We've got to (defend) our home court. It's going to be a good series.
decided destroyed game ourselves
We destroyed ourselves in Game 1. So we decided to come out and play better basketball.
