They had one of those nights where everybody's contagious. They didn't miss a shot. It deflated us a little bit because we were playing catch-up from the giddy-up. I think in the first half they shot 66 percent or something like that. That's crazy.
It's just good to know that people actually appreciate when you do give, ... I'm not the one for a lot of publicity, I'm not one to put myself out there with what I do, but in this case, I hope that it motivates others to give.

This is probably a test more than anything for everybody, to see who is going to give up and who is going to pack it up and go home.
It relaxed me and I was actually able to think clearly.
It's a great start, everything I anticipated. He was Ricky Davis tonight. He played great D. You know you're getting a high-energy player.
This is the ultimate test. This is the best team in the league by far. This team has not just blown us out, but blown out San Antonio twice, one of the better teams in the league. This isn't charity.
They played well when they had to. Paul Pierce is the best in the business when it comes to hitting fourth-quarter shots.

It was the first night we didn't have to say anything to him. I think he had a chip on his shoulder.
It's a combination of a lot of things. Knowing how to execute, knowing when to execute, their second team against our second team. We've got to try to figure something out, I know that.
It's about progress. The more you play, the more you progress. ... I can see where he's trying to develop some of this younger talent we have right here.
They're tights. It's no different from a knee brace. It's no different from a calf brace. It's no different from an arm brace. You think guys are wearing those (things) just to wear them? Man, them (things) keep you able to be who you are, and mobile and agile.
