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.
(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.
It's playoff time and we're finding ways to win. It's great to see.
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.
The experience (will be better this time). Knowing what I got myself into two summers ago, I didn't get a full-fledged explanation of what my role would be. This time I will. That will make the experience much better. I'll be more comfortable with it.
We want to be an elite team and we have to learn how. The feeling I had last year at this time is totally different. It is a whole different environment this year. He (Brown) knows what I want from the team and I know what he wants.
There's been enough talking. It's time to get ready for (Game 1).
This is the second or third time he's done that here.
I was about time for me to wake up and for me to be more aggressive. Once I start feeling like that, I feel unstoppable.
We made some good stops and we contested their shots. I think last time we played them they shot around 60 percent. W were able to contest those shots and we were able to attack and get a lead and we didn't let go.
It just wasn't our time.
(The fourth quarter) was time to make a move and make shots, so I tried to get some things going. I didn't start out that well, but eventually, I got into my comfort zone.
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.
