(Williams) played well, and he got it done for them. He hit all the big shots, got into the paint when he needed to, to find guys and get easy looks. He did a good job tonight.
I wish we played them 80 times this year. That's a great team over there, but for some reason we just out played them. We got the sweep but now we have to move on and win this game on Friday (against the Nets).
We kind of got disoriented by not running our stuff. But we came out and played the way we're supposed to in the second half.
It was a hard-fought game, but we gave them too much cushion and we couldn't really recover. But our second unit in the third quarter played unbelievable. I wish we could've played them the whole second half.
When you're a bad team, you don't get any benefit-of-the-doubt calls. You see it on TV, the media knows it, and we were a casualty of that tonight. We played as hard as they did. We deserved that one as much as they did.
He came in here and kicked our behinds tonight. I know the game meant a lot to him, and he played that way.
He played well. He got all the big shots.
We just want our goal to be to double our win total from last year. Over these last five games, we have to find a way to win two or three of them. I think that is our focus right now and to continue to get better as a team going into next year.
They always play hard. Every time we cut it close, they would come down the next three or four possessions and get exactly the shot they wanted. They really execute well.
Believe it or not, when it left my hand, it felt good.
We had way too many days off. We lost our rhythm. We lost our feel.
That was big because I let my team down (in the last game). I just had to come on -- be more aggressive and produce.
We could not put the ball in the hole, but the biggest thing is we did not get any stops defensively. We had the lead once again and they turned it up a little bit, but we went the other way.
(Hawks GM) Billy Knight told me I'm not going anywhere, so mentally that's where I'm at now. I'm not thinking about it at all. He said if there's something that comes along, something that he's thinking about doing, I'll be the first to know before he does it.
