Rick Adelman

I thought he was unbelievable. He did everything you could do. It's a shame we wasted the effort he gave us and then Ron took over in the fourth quarter. I don't know how much better somebody can play, two games back-to-back, especially against that team.

Chipper Jones

I thought he was nasty the second game that we played against him. Everybody was saying he looked like a different guy. But to be honest with you, he pitched well the first game against us. He just made the one bad pitch.

I thought he was brilliant against us to be fair.

Heyneke Meyer

I thought it (play against the Fire) was okay, especially considering he had been gone for a period of time and the one thing he didn't have was contact with the ball. I expect a lot more from him next week in L.A.

I thought I might whiff, I was so nervous. But I thought about two guys. I thought about Fred Couples and how big a putt he made on 18 to win against Vijay and I thought about captain Nicklaus. That's what our whole goal was this week, to win it for him.
