games letting lucky matter slip teams ugly
The more games we let slip away, we're letting other teams have a chance. It's important for us to be who we are and win. It doesn't matter how ugly or how lucky we are.
block game honor
During the game he's all business. And he punishes people. It's an honor to block for him.

As guards, we felt we needed to come back and help the big guys rebound.

This game, from the start, seemed like it meant more for them than it did for us.

When it was all about V.C. the Raptors played with fear, and that's not how you win games.
dominate good guys tough
We didn't want Yao to dominate down low, but we wanted to make it as tough on him as possible. If Yao was going to get his shots, we didn't want the other guys to go off. I thought, overall, we did a good job.

We didn't want Yao to dominate down low, but the thing that makes it tough, you have to give up something. If he's getting his, you just can't let everyone else have a good night.

In our mind we felt they were going to play even harder because they were undermanned. But the effort in the first half was not what we wanted.
drawing fake far foul good hands late pump push stay tough
I just wanted to push him out as far as I could and just stay down. He's good at that pump fake and drawing the foul late in the game. So I wanted to keep my hands up and make it a tough shot. If he makes it, he makes it.
goal team tone
I just play. The goal is to come out and set the tone for the team and be efficient. We have so many weapons, I just try to get us started offensively and then be patient.
