On behalf of the Spurs organization and my teammates, I'd like to thank you for your continued support year in and year out. We've had some good times and we'd like to bring another championship back to San Antonio.
I got a lot of (grief) for that, too. Trust me, I'm getting my share.
They hit some great shots. We did not have the game locked up, but we thought we had it in the bag. I went 1-for-6 (from the line) in the final (three) minutes and made some mental mistakes. But lesson learned, and it was a cheap one because we got the win.
That's a tough road right there, going from the first or second spot to the fourth spot and having to play the No. 1 seed in the earlier rounds. It's a tough situation, but it is what it is.
I've got no choice but to (watch the standings). Every time I walk into the practice facility it's right there, so I know what's going on.
It was a huge key. He really hurt us last time. We decided to come after him and make them change their game a little bit.
It's a great feeling. A great feeling, ... In years past we've lost six, seven, eight, nine guys in a year, and rebuilt. I think we've really got a core here that we're in love with, that obviously is a pretty decent core, and we're going to have it together for a couple years.
It should be a blast. To have the entire team there, (the people) are psyched.
The number one seed is important. Not only for the seed, but for the home-court advantage.
It was a great defensive effort overall. We had a solid night defensively and that helped keep their score down. We are starting to get things worked out.
We need to get some of that funk out. We have had some bad games, some losses at home and we got a very good team coming into our house tomorrow (Utah) and we're going to have to gear up and get that win.
We need to get some of that funk out. We've had some bad games and some losses at home.
We have a lot of guys who are a little beat up and a little stressed out at this part of the season. It's great to have this break, let everybody get away and then come back refreshed.
We all didn't have that edge we needed. Offensively, they did kind of whatever they wanted to do. We can't win games like that.
