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.
continue defensive good last played player stop talking thinks trash
It's good because he is a defensive player and he really thinks he can stop me. We started talking trash when they played here last game, so I know that's going to continue when we get out there.
attack played pressure trash waited
We know we played like some trash out there. And now we know we need to play a lot better than we did. We need to put the pressure on them. I think we just set back and waited for them to attack us. We have to be the first ones to be aggressive.

We played well tonight. We just didn't pull it off. But we're not really concerned about what we're doing on the road right now.

We played well tonight. We felt we had it in control at the end, and we just had to make some free throws. It was very important to get this win. With about 24 games left, we need every win we can get.

bad couch dollars encourage few hoping ideas lost people seeing sitting watching
I know that everyone has been watching and they feel bad for all these people so I was hoping that by seeing a face, someone they recognize, doing something to help, it will encourage everyone to come up with ideas for how they can help, ... We all can do something. If you're sitting on the couch watching TV, you can do something. Even if it's just donating a few dollars or some clothes, you can make a difference. These people lost everything they had in the world. They need our help.

Eddie does a good job of not pounding us in practice and giving us days off where we can recover.

Everyone is trying to dodge certain teams. No one wants to play a Detroit or a Miami in the first round because they want to get to the second round.

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.
