It was like playing the Chicago Celtics. I like their uniforms. They look good, and they play good in their retro uniforms, too. Our retro uniforms don't work too good for us.
The biggest thing is when you get touches, to make them quality touches.
It's all good pressure. We're a very focused group, understanding what's in front of us.
Because there are no fours.
He's going to stick his nose in there. And he's probably the heart and soul of their team because he does all the little things on the floor that drives players on other teams crazy.
If someone gets 81 on me I'm going to clothesline him.
He just said he was stiff and he was tight, but you knew it was hurting him because he only got to the free-throw line once. He had his mid-range game working tonight.
He looked great. Better than last year. He?s slim, in shape. The last couple weeks he was really on top of his game.
Whatever happens in the playoffs will be fine. We're going to play eight, nine, 10 guys, anyway. I'm comfortable with both roles. I understand both roles.
I'm capable of having big nights. My thing is to be as efficient as possible.
I didn't even think about it all night. I got my second wind somewhere along the way, and never really felt tired at all.
He's very good at flopping and acting. He's a guy you have to keep your head against. He may take a charge you don't feel is a charge.
He's very cautious with guys' health and bodies. But he still wants us to be in tip-top shape.
All they did was hold serve at home. That's what they are supposed to do. Tuesday night will be the biggest game of the series. We are a talented team and it's time to step up.
