It shows the growth and how fast we turned things around. It shows we are going back in the right direction.
He kept sending somebody to the (scorer's) table, and I kept shaking him off. It was like a pitching coach calling a fastball and I wanted to throw the curve.
Our defense the one thing that stands out the most. Our offense will come and go, but we are stopping people at the other end.
Everybody talked about his past or being soft or a guy who doesn't like to compete when it gets tough. He's shown us everything but that.
That won the game for us, (Jefferson's defense) and Jacque's two shots.
It doesn't matter if it's Game 1, Game 2, Game 3 or a Game 7, they're all important. We'll have to try to eliminate our mistakes and get ready for Game 4.
Winning can get boring. Hopefully we learned that tonight, giving up 37 points in that fourth quarter.
Unless we were the Ninja Mutant Ninja Turtles, there was no mutiny.
We have a long ways to go. We didn't play any defense. Again, it's no gray area with us. If we don't play any defense, we're not going to win. Chalk this one under no defense.
When you get older, you begin to appreciate (triple-doubles) more. When you can get a triple-double, that opportunity doesn't come every night. I probably stayed in longer than I should've, but I wanted to stay on the floor and try for it.
It kinda caught us off-guard. As the game went along, we started to understand what was open. There was a period where we were just settling, but in the long haul, we made the right adjustments at the right time.
It's great that we won 14 in a row, but I think the big thing now is for us to keep that swagger, that hunger to get better and not get complacent. The big thing for us right now is we've got some good teams that we're about to play. So nothing against Charlotte or Atlanta, but now we got Cleveland coming in, and then we go to Milwaukee and Chicago, so we can't play the way that we have these last two games if we're going to have any chance to win.
We didn't show up. We didn't play any defense.
The big thing was playing defense. That's the blueprint of this team, if we're going to have any success is getting stops. We did that at the right time.
