This team came out and beat us. Every time we made a run, they came back and made a run. We lost this one. ... We know that we're a couple of shots and a couple of defensive plays away from being a great team.
When a guy's 6-8, raises as high as he does and fades on his shot, you just try to do the best that you can to put a hand in his face. He made big shots for them.
Some games it's just guys have open shots and they take them, and when they miss it looks worse.

He's shooting shots he knows he can shoot on post-ups on Shaq and drives from me. He's just in the rhythm. He's also going to the bucket and finishing strong. Hopefully, he and Antoine (Walker) continue to play the way they have and we'll be pretty good offensively throughout the playoffs.
I didn't have my athletic ability tonight the way I would have liked to have it. But I was able to make the plays I had to make with a couple blocked shots and a couple steals. I would have liked to have more athletic ability tonight, but I did what I had to do.
I missed some shots that I normally make, and they really pressured me. It was tough, but when we play them again in April, we'll have some counters for what they were doing tonight.

The key is being healthy and not worrying about the individual stuff. I had some good shots but I just missed them. The playoffs will be a whole different story. We'll be ready.
We have to come back tomorrow. We're a team that never quits, we always fight.
This was an exciting game from beginning to end. Both teams were getting out running and scoring at will.
The playoffs are a different mindset and a different season. Our main goal is to go in healthy and we'll be alright.
We thought Nash was going to knock that down right away.
We're not really looking at teams' records. We just want to come in and get better and we can't relax. This is the NBA.
