We got New Jersey one step closer to catching us as the second seed. We have to finish up these last eight games on a strong note.
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.
The biggest thing is when you get touches, to make them quality touches.
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.
We gotta concentrate more. When we've got a team down, we've gotta step on them.
We want to even this thing up 2-2. It's more or less psychological for people that don't believe that we can beat them in a seven-game series.
We feel like we can play better. We felt like the first game they hit us with a real good shot. We don't think we've hit them with a good shot, where we've dominated for 48 minutes.
I've been around for a long time and gone back so often that it's not a big deal. I'll get to see my kids and family, but probably not (tonight).
I don't know what it is. We're going to have to start coming out early or warm up harder or something.
I am excited. Our preparation begins tomorrow. When I was with Boston, we were just trying to get in the playoffs. Our goal here is to win a championship.
It's all good pressure. We're a very focused group, understanding what's in front of us.
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.
I'm capable of having big nights. My thing is to be as efficient as possible.
