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.
I got in a comfort level, and I took over the game. My guys, you know, were with me.
Me and Nike came up with the concept. We just ran with it, man. It was awesome. It took me about a week to do it. I was putting on different costumes. We hit everyone - the older generation, the younger generation, the Me generation.
It took us a while to get to know each other, but right now we're at the point where we can close our eyes and know where our teammates are at. That's an excellent thing to have.
They did a great job fighting us for three quarters. Then they took over. ... All in all, if we play like this every night, we'll win a lot of games.
It looked good. It took forever. It took about 10 seconds. It seemed like it never came down. Those are the toughest shots to make for a great shooter like Gilbert.
We got up double digits against them, and I bet going through everybody's mind was what happened Thursday when they went on a run. I didn't want that to happen. Defensively, I took the challenge of Ben Gordon, and offensively I took the challenge of trying to put them away.
They took advantage of us and things didn't go right for us. We won on their court, we won on our court so now it is going to come down to the wire.
Defensively, I took the challenge of (guarding) Ben Gordon . Offensively, I took the challenge of trying to put them away.
I got beat up a lot. I took a lot of contact and tried to go to the line.
I'll never be disappointed in my team. But we were not mentally prepared and took things for granted. We can't do that.
I don't take too many charges. I took a big blow there.
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.
