Being around the league for a long time, who's to say whether it's a charge or not. The reality of it is, 14 seconds to go, the seven-foot guy falling like he got shot with a gun. Normally that doesn't warrant a call.
A lot of guys contributed. Jamal made a huge shot at the end of the game. We didn't get down. A lot of times when things don't go your way and you only have 19 wins or so on the season, you tend to get discouraged.

Guys were giving up good shots to get great shots.
It felt good to be out there and hear your name called. They had 20 more shots than we did, but we did a good job of keeping the turnovers low and knocking down open looks when we had them. We did a better job in the second half of playing defense.
We just didn't get it done. We shot a horrible percentage, and we didn't have confidence. . . it just showed in our overall effort.
Everybody wants to contribute and help the team get a win, and obviously I'm no different,
Everybody wants to be hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy and I'm no different. But you have to appreciate every role you get. I got down on my knees a lot of years and prayed for this NBA opportunity, so it's something I never take for granted. But as a 12-year veteran, the most important thing is winning. The personal goals and ego go out the window.
The Bad News Bears coach wouldn't tell (his team) that.
I'm excited to go to New York. Every player, when they step into the Garden, there is a different pulse to that building. I'm definitely going to be a little bit nervous and excited.
I'm a dresser, so it's not going to be that much of a change for me.
Nothing feels better than spoiling another team's playoff chances.
They did a good job of denying us and they closed out the game. Guys did their best to get open.
We got some good looks at some shots, but they just didn't go down. Had they, we would have put some pressure on their team.
