That's a good thing, ... Bury this one. Forget all about it.
We all know this team (the Warriors) likes to get on the break and play freely. We wanted to make it defensively hard for those guys and move the ball a little bit, and offensively, beat them in their own game.

Tonight was one of those nights when we were short-handed.
Being swept by Miami was kind of an eye-opener. It shouldn't have been as easy for him to do what he did, especially without Shaq out there. But there he was, doing whatever he wanted to against us. That kind of stuff can't happen.
We knew if we lost this game, our back was really going to be against the wall. It was another show of character as far as fighting and finding a way to get a win.
You hear it every week: 'This is the most important stretch of the season. But, in reality, this is definitely the most important stretch.
Everybody knows Gilbert. We don't understand how it's possible (for him to be omitted). But it happened.
Everybody knows Gilbert. My thing is whatever lights your fire, use it to help you and benefit your team. We don't understand how it's possible (for him to be omitted), but it happened. You don't know who voted for him and who didn't. Knowing Gil, it doesn't matter.
We feel like we're going to win. That's what things were like last year with this team. If it was a close game, there was no doubt in our minds that we'd find a way to pull it out.
There's only so many times you can say, 'This is the time to get things rolling. With me, I'm pretty much fed up as far as saying that. Eventually we have to pull it together. It's really no more excuses, the way we've been playing, not finding a way to win games, losing close games. It's pretty much put your money where your mouth is and find a way to do it.
There's no secret about what we need to do. We know we can play better defense because we've done it at times this season. We just have to find a way to do it more often.
They were in a rhythm tonight and we couldn't get them out of it. They made it tough for us the whole game.
This is a game when Brendan would have helped. The big guy (Yao) earned his check and he put his team on his back and carried them.
