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.
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.
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.
I think both teams are pretty evenly matched in the sense of them being able to slow down the game, and for us, we want to speed it up and get into the open court. It's just a battle of whose will and whose makeup will be for 48 minutes.
That won the game for us, (Jefferson's defense) and Jacque's two shots.
That defensive switch and Jacque's two shots won the game for us.
He can stretch a defense. He's a big threat. They missed him in Game 2.
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.
He understands what I like to do, and I know what he likes to do. Right now, he has the upper hand in that, and right now, I got to find a way to take away his comfort.
He gets out of bed with 20 points. I tease him all the time about how he shows up at the arena and already has 20 points. He's that good.
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.
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 didn't show up. We didn't play any defense.
