We can build some confidence and we can build off the way we played in the first three quarters. We ran pretty well tonight. Maybe not as well as we wanted to, but we ran pretty well. Next game we can go out and try to do a couple of more things than we did.
It was a good feeling not to have to play in the fourth quarter. It's always good to get some rest. We let a couple (of games) slip away here, but that's old news. We've put it behind us. This is a new year and we have new goals.
Everybody knows what he's capable of doing. Just getting him back, that is something we've been missing the last couple of weeks. Getting him back should be big.
Not really. I can see if it was a couple of years ago (when there wasn't as much West forward depth). I understand now there's a lot to people at my position.
The new guys bring energy, intensity and emotion. The last couple games, they showed what they can bring to the team.
We're very confident. We have high expectations. Every time we play the Clippers, they are great at adjusting in the second half to what we are doing in the first half. They are also sending two or three people at me every time I touch the ball. That's a sign of respect. They try to mix it up. They play with my head a little.
I've never seen anybody shoot like that. There is really nothing you can do about it.
It was tough to come out. I didn't want to come out. I felt like I had it going on. I guess (Karl) felt I needed a rest or something like that.
It was an ugly win, no doubt about it. But we just kept our composure. We wanted to play hard from beginning to end.
It was a broken play. We didn't have anything when they jumped out on our pick- and-roll. I wanted to take the last shot whether I missed it or I made it, which I didn't. I've made more than I've missed at the end of the game.
I've been seeing everything (on defense). It's just another team and another defender.
The whole series was kind of an embarrassing moment. They didn't just beat us by two or three points in the games they won. They beat us by, like, 20. That's embarrassing.
Earl came through big for us. He came out of his ... I don't want to call it a slump, but he came out of his shell tonight.
Every time we play San Antonio, it's always going to be tough. They send two or three people at me. . . . I knew my shot wasn't going down from the outside. I just tried to keep going to the hole and get some fouls.
