Raja and Kurt are always there for us, physically and mentally. They always make it difficult for the other team and always give us a chance to win.
It would be nice if we were up 3-2. But, at least we can go to LA and let it all hang out.
A lot of people can relate to me because I'm normal size and came from humble beginnings. It's probably easier to (relate) to than some guy 6 foot 7 who can jump out of the gym.
A lot of guys shot the ball well, and I thought we played extremely hard defensively even though they made a lot of shots. It was a pretty solid performance.
A lot of teams in that situation wouldn't fight through it.
You replay and you rethink. The mistakes really hurt.
Any way you slice it, we very easily gave up a 17-point lead. It was disappointing. We went cold. We probably didn't get enough penetration or ball movement.
Anytime people step up at the end of games to close teams out, that's the sign of a good team. We had a couple of guys who made some big plays and made us a winner tonight.
They were great to me. I appreciate that.
They were great to me, and I appreciate that, ... Hopefully, the Wildcat fans can stick behind us.
This is a chance to get a little bit of separation if we play well. We blew one in Denver but tonight was a good one and we've got a few coming up here.
They had great facilities, and the people have been very hospitable. It's been a blast.
We want the best for him. We want him to be as healthy and happy as soon as possible. But it's out of our control. With a veteran group, you realize that more than doom and gloom.
We share the ball. We play the game in a way that allows everyone to be at their best. We're fairly unpredictable in a predictable sort of way.
