It seems like they're trying to take my aggressiveness away. I've been called for more offensive fouls in this series (six) than all 82 games (34) combined probably.
I was just fighting through it. I was trying to fight through a cold, but I didn't want to make any excuses. I didn't want to be in the position where I wasn't there for my team tonight.
I just wanted to be aggressive. On the road, you don't want to settle for jump shots. I was going to the hole and getting to everyone's body. I was trying to finish over them and create contact.
They scored some easy buckets and got up big early. We wasted a lot of energy trying to catch up.
Defensively, I took the challenge of (guarding) Ben Gordon . Offensively, I took the challenge of trying to put them away.
Gilbert is a great player. Larry did a great job of trying to get his hands on the ball and contesting every jump shot. As a unit, we did an excellent job.
Record-wise and going into the playoffs, we can't improve. I'm trying to get as much rest as I can. I don't want to try to force the action by playing on an ankle that's not 100 percent.
It puts a smile on my face to be compared to a legend. Year by year, as you play basketball, you've got to know the history of the game.
It's not a worry for us. They are going to pick it up, and they know what we need them to do.
That's over and done with. I've moved on, and he's moved on.
The third quarter was a disaster. They put pressure on us and we couldn't make shots. If we want to be an elite team, we can't let teams come back like that.
I'll never be disappointed in my team. But we were not mentally prepared and took things for granted. We can't do that.
There's been enough talking. It's time to get ready for (Game 1).
I missed shots. I'm going to have off nights. But it doesn't matter to me as long as we win.
