This was an exciting game from beginning to end. Both teams were getting out running and scoring at will.
Both teams played each other twice, we both won a game, each was close, and because of our history, yeah, it's going to be a very important game to see where both our teams are at.
We can't say, 'We're not playing the best teams in the league, so we can relax.' Not at all. It's the NBA, so we have to focus on getting better, so we can be as good as we're going to get by the time the playoffs come.
There are a lot of good teams coming into our house, but it is our home and we need to defend our home.
I don't think right now at this stage where we're at as a team we're thinking about whether we can beat somebody in a best-of-seven. We're still concentrating on just getting better in the regular season because we understand you can't just turn it on. The good teams play well most of the year, especially late in the year. We're just trying to kick it in for the rest of the season now.
Coach told us to come in and play well on our home floor. Teams that you're supposed to beat, you've got to beat them. That's what we did tonight. At the same time, having a big lead and guys having the opportunity to rest was big also.
Every time we got it close, they just seemed to make the play. That is what good teams are supposed to do at home.
We have to come back tomorrow. We're a team that never quits, we always fight.
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.
There is only a relationship between music and sports because all athletes want to be rappers and all rappers want to be athletes.
When I'm designing I try to think about what I like to see on other people.
Places you go in life - it opens your eyes up and you kind of understand who you are.
