We are becoming a great team. We are very, very, very close. It's exciting to be a part of.
We played as well as we could and gave a great effort. They have a lot more firepower than us.
Those guys don't realize, I'm a football player first. I'm going to lay down for a little bit, regroup and get back up. I'm used to taking those hits. They're nothing compared to football hits.
I thought I was in the right position. It was a tough call.
We needed some time off. We'd been on the road for a week. It was a good practice, guys had their legs coming off the day off and we came in with the focus to get ready and get some wins.
We have a lot better mindset this year. I feel that I am a lot better. I know what it takes down the stretch.
We have to (win on the road). It's a tough place to play. We have to have the same mindset (we had in Game 1).
(The All-Star Game is) over and done with. We have to come in (tonight) and concentrate on Orlando. We've been (above .500) a couple times this year. We haven't been 11 or 12 games (over .500). It's time to make a run. We have a different mindset from last year.
Hard fouls are going to happen. But that's just playoff basketball.
We have the tiebreaker with everybody in our division right now (except Detroit). This was a must-win.
Gilbert is a great player. Larry did a great job of trying to get his hands on the ball and contesting every jump shot. As a unit, we did an excellent job.
I don't remember getting elbowed in the chest or pushed. It was something I never felt before.
I don't think we have had a defensive performance like that this season. We came in with the mind-set to get stops. That was the key to the game for us.
I don't think we were ready to play from the opening tip. We got it going in the third, but it took us two quarters to get it going and we can't beat anyone in the league doing that.
