Whether you win by 30 or lose by two you just have to move on. What we did in Game 1 really doesn't mean anything if we come out and don't take care of what we are supposed to take care of in Game 2. That's pretty much the nature of it.

We have to win on the road. That is basically what it comes down to. We didn't come into this series thinking that we would not have to win in D.C. We planned on it, and that is something that we have to do.

advance basically basketball cleveland coming deciding hold next opportunity pieces putting together trying washington win
Cleveland, I felt, had an opportunity to take it to the next level. I feel like coming to Cleveland from Washington, Cleveland's basically in the same place Washington is. That really was the deciding factor. I didn't want to go to an organization that was trying to hold things together to just win basketball games. Here, we're putting pieces together so we can advance to the playoffs.
