To win three in a row is difficult. But they've done it to us and there's absolutely no way that we're incapable of doing it to them.
We're not going to win too many games last year with our defense. We certainly won with our defense tonight. It's great. It gives you a new source of pride.
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.
We haven't played well offensively. We haven't really clicked, and that's frustrating, but at the same time our defense has really picked up, and given us an opportunity to win in all three of our losses.
Nothing is black-and-white, except for winning and losing, and maybe that's why people gravitate to that so much.
We were excited to win, staying undefeated is just the icing.
I was bummed, but I'm happy for him, ... I told him, 'I just want you to go where you're happy. Obviously, I want you to be here.' I thought he was pretty close to coming.
I thought we had a really good camp,
I thought we just played really solid tonight. It would be nice to be 3-2 up but we're in a position now where we can ride the momentum and let it all hang out in LA.
We played pretty well tonight. They made some phenomenal shots in the fourth quarter. At some point, you've just got to congratulate them.
I thought he really was great at being in the paint, knowing when to finish, when to pump fake, when to pass. He made the right decisions. It's really difficult to guard him when he makes those decisions.
I talked to him before that, too, and his heart wasn't into coming back,
Tim really puts a ton of pressure on our defense,
I want my kids to have passion for life, to really have a passion for life. I think when you have a passion for something, you can overcome obstacles, if you float through life without having anything to hold on to or get you fired up emotionally and to focus on, I think it's really hard to overcome things.
