It doesn't make us worried. We know if we face them in the first round or face them later in the playoffs we'll be ready for them.
We have been doing a great job lately of closing out games on the road, and it was nice to see us able to do that here tonight. It's something we need to keep up.
It's all about the team. We won a big game on the road. This was a game that had playoff atmosphere, especially late in the game.
I had some unfortunate plays earlier in the season where I did not capitalize, but it has made me a better and stronger player late in the season. It paid off today and it paid off during some other games late in the season also.
We just made the big play at the end. We just willed a way to win. This was one of the wildest games, especially on the road. But I love it. Being on the road, you got the fans against you and we found a way to win. It was awesome.
We got stops and made shots when it counted. When you hold a team to 38 percent from the field you give yourself a pretty good chance of winning.
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.
We're very excited. We came here to win two games, not one.
I've told you guys I'm not going to force anything. Flip had a wide-open three. He hit the big shot for us.
It was tough to watch. Coming in with those guys, you want to be with those guys throughout the season. But I won't be watching this time. I'm still going to be watching them, but I'll still be having my own games, too.
It was a little tiring. My chest got stopped up a little bit, but for the most part it was fun to get back on the floor with my teammates.
It was a perfect miss. That sounds crazy, but I missed it perfectly, and I followed it and got fouled, and we were in a position to go to OT, but I lost the game for us. I've never practiced that but I know how to hit the back of the rim and make it pop out.
It would have been a disaster if we couldn't win this game after being up by 25.
The way he's coached us the first week of training camp and now in the preseason has been great. He has a lot of pressure because he's a rookie head coach, but we don't look at him like that. He's been on championship teams his whole life and he's going to bring that same intensity to us.
