beat definitely
We still think we can beat them. We are definitely disappointed.
beat best early jump life point regardless rival stay team time
When you come out to play a rival you never know. Regardless of the up-and-downs, you are going to get the best effort. It was important for us to come out focused. You want to jump on them early and stay up. If you give the team life at any point in time they can come back and beat you.
understand
You don't know what to expect. The only way you can really understand it is just being in it.
approach bend eight past seven
We bend but don't break. We have to have that attitude. That has been our approach the past seven or eight games.
call wants
We're better prepared. He wants more out of us so, of course, that's going to call for more work.
care grind knew looks record start
We knew we were going to have to grind it out. I don't care what their record looks like. They come at you from start to finish.
team
We know we have a team that can make a lot of noise.
blown good step
We still think we're a good team. We didn't get blown out of here (in Cleveland), for one. We're capable. We just have to step it up a little bit.
fear played win
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.
dominate good
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.
sudden
It was right there for the taking. Then all of a sudden it just went south.
meant seemed
This game, from the start, seemed like it meant more for them than it did for us.
pulls
When you think something can't be done, that's when he pulls off another stunt.
