They are a very capable team. They have a lot of talent on their team. They want to change what they have done so far and they will want to use the game to turn things around. We have to be careful (Saturday) and get some rest so that we are ready.
Our season is starting in a couple of days. The last 10 games, you just wanted the regular season to finish and get ready for the excitement. The atmosphere changes in one second.
I was trying to get it to the rim before, but I just couldn't make a shot. In the fourth quarter, I started with the dunk, and the whole game changed for me in those couple of minutes.
I admire him probably the same way I did with (Michael) Jordan, ... But the difference was he was representing me with the Argentine jersey. That changes everything.
We are feeling good about ourselves. But the playoffs are a whole different thing. The atmosphere changes in one second.
That's three great shooters that can change the game in couple of minutes. We're going to be dangerous. It's going to be good as long as we are smart, we keep the aggressiveness for 48 minutes and everybody thinks for the better of the team.
I'm trying to test my ankle and see how I feel. I am trying to see how I feel around the rim. Overall, I am feeling pretty good.
I?m sure they?re going nuts, ... I just tried to be in the right spot.
I'm glad we got this one. I calmed down a little bit tonight. I was too frustrated in Game Four because of what happened in Game Three. Tonight, I forgot everything and I let the game come to me and that made it easier.
I'm glad it happened. It helps me feel better to go strong again.
I just calmed down a bit. I was too frustrated in Game 4 because of what happened in Game 3. I tried to forget everything and play more calm, letting things come to me. I didn't force the issue.
It was a great shooting night. But it doesn't mean I'm on a roll.
I try play the same all the time. I'll play hard if I play five minutes or five seconds. If I start or come off the bench. I will play hard. I will play tough and I will play aggressively. I try to get my rhythm going immediately.
It's important for me to start but even more important is that I feel the same way as a backup coming off the bench. You have to contribute any way you can. I try to do the best I can for the team and bring energy.
