They played well when they had to. Paul Pierce is the best in the business when it comes to hitting fourth-quarter shots.
Any close game is a tough game. We lost to Houston last night and came in here with a little bit of an edge on us. I think we showed that a little bit. We came out with decent energy; the second half, we just didn't play well.
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.
A.C. was unbelievable with energy. He came in and kicked it off. When A.C. came in, the tempo just picked up immediately.
Speedy I think hit five or six shots in a row. We had it tied a couple times, and we know that they like to come down and play that pick and roll, which is a fake pick and roll. Speedy hadn't hit that many jumpers up until that point, but he was sort of streaky. He hit a couple jumpers, and we never recovered from that.
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.
I think you measure it by how many kids are using it. You can only take the kids, so to speak, to the water... but it's up to the kids to drink.
I thought the call that was before that was sort of a cheap call. I just came down and was frustrated. By no means was I trying to hit a fan. If anything, I was trying to get a delay of game. Unfortunately, that happened. I apologized to the little girl and her father.
I thought the call that was before that was sort of a cheap call.
I think we were all kind of frustrated with the referees. We felt like they called a (expletive) game. Thirty-something to 17 fouls, that's crazy. But at the same time, we still had a chance to win it, but we just never could pull it together.
I think there needs to be some style improvement but at the same time it has to be with in reasons.
Just being aggressive in the fourth quarter is what I'm focused on.
Our inspiration was coming out and knowing how we played against them in (California). We didn't play our best game, and we were more enthused than anything to get a little payback, if you want to call it that. The fourth quarter was a lot more energetic.
I take a lot of pride in how I look,
