It was just one of those night where we used a lot of energy trying to get to this spot. You know, it is just one game, one game out of a seven-game series. We lost the first one. We'll be ready for the next.
calls flop free games harder hole michael mind paul pierce scream shot throws trying tv
I'm not one of those fakers who is going to scream and flop and play all those little mind games trying to get a call, I'm just going to go and get my basket, ... But then I look on TV and see Paul Pierce shot 24 free throws and Michael Redd shot 17 and I'm like, 'Man, I go to the hole harder than anybody, so where are the calls at?'

It was a hard game and they were great. You can't take that away from them.
basketball came deserved fought game minutes miss missed
It went in and came out. You're going to miss more than you make in your career. I missed that one, but I'm going to have more opportunities to make them. ... I thought it was going in. It was there, just a little off. It just wasn't our day. We fought all 48 minutes of this basketball game and we deserved this win.

ball close easy games good happened happy moved playing stuff together took
After the close games we've been playing it was good to just come out, put it all together and put one away. I was happy that we didn't let up when we got the lead. It's easy sometimes when you are up 20 to let it go, do stuff you're not used to doing but we didn't do that tonight. We took good shots, moved the ball well and good things happened for us.
develop draft drafted game screwed second twice within
It was a loophole, and I slipped through it, didn't I? (The new provision) sucks. We get screwed in the draft and go in the second round, and if we develop our game within the first two years, why do we get penalized? We're getting penalized twice for getting drafted in the second round.
game hard lose obviously seconds shocked win
Shocked? Everyone was shocked. You were shocked. I was shocked. He was shocked that it went in. It's hard to win or lose a game with 0.5 seconds left, but obviously it happened.

As well as they played in Game 1, we thought we destroyed ourselves. We didn't play our kind of basketball. We didn't do anything we preached. We decided to come out here (last night) and play our brand of basketball.
against backs fight fought games last road three
It's just like last year. We've been down this road before with our backs against the wall, and we've fought through it. We're in a predicament where we've actually got to fight now. We can't look at it like we're three games ahead. Now we've actually got to play basketball.
coast feeling game great positive second since start west
It's a great feeling to start off with your first win. I don't think, since I've been here, we've done that on the West Coast trip. It's a great feeling because you go into the second game with a lot of positive energy.
four game hit row step
Chucky hit those four 3s in a row to get us back in the game, ... We would never have been in the game if Chucky didn't step up.

In the first half, we forgot our game plan and (James) was just getting down the lane. In the second half, we tried to cut the lane off, and I don't think we gave him a field goal.

We are enjoying playing together again. We haven't had this feeling since the first six games of the season where we are actually going out there happy to play.
