I know that hard fouls are going to happen. They've been reading up on the clippings about me leading the league in 'and-ones', so they did a good job of trying to foul me before I got the ball up. That's just playoff basketball. I've always said that I could take those hits. All in all, the Wizards did a great job of coming in here and beating us.
They did a great job of executing in the fourth quarter. It came down to putting the ball in the basket. Rip Hamilton closed us out.
We are very confident. We are winning ball games...We are playing well defensively and we are executing our offense. We feel very confident and we have to keep it going.
If we play like this every night, we'll win a lot of ball games.
That's something we stressed more today in practice. (We'll) try to work inside out and, hopefully, that will open the lane a little more. Z has had a tough time in this series, but he hasn't had an opportunity to have a good time. We are going to get him the ball early in the game and see how it goes.
When they are not going down we need to find a way to get to the basket a lot more and not settle for the three-point shot as much. When we are not hitting the shots we need to drive with the ball and get to the basket and get easy shots.
We're losing ball games, as simple as that. We're still (fourth) in the Eastern Conference. We can't get down on ourselves.
It comes down to executing and putting the ball in the hole. We didn't do that the last seven, eight minutes.
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 love sharing the ball with my teammates. I see a lot of things before my teammates see them.
My game is really played above time. I don't say that like I'm saying I'm ahead of my time. I'm saying, like, if I'm on the court and I throw a pass, the ball that I've thrown will lead my teammate right where he needs to go, before he even knows that that's the right place to go to.
Individual accolades come when your team is successful. It showed (Sunday).
I knew this was going to be a great game. We just made the best plays at the end of the game.
I knew I had to be aggressive. This was an important game. What's awesome is that we won the season series and have done a great job in our division.
