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.
When you don't play great and you can still get the win, especially on the road, it counts almost double. I think it's a great thing.
It's not something that started today or yesterday. He's been doing a great job for a while.
It was a great shooting night. But it doesn't mean I'm on a roll.
They got really close. It could have gone for them, but we had a couple of great plays down the stretch.
They are playing really well, so we are looking forward to playing them. We have the first- and second-best records in the Western Conference, so it is going to be a great game.
Of course they miss a great player in Ron tonight because of his defense, but we scored a lot of points, too. I made the shots that I could in the offense. We move the ball and we really don't care who scores.
I thought they were going to take some time. But Avery's been doing a great job. Everyone knows their roles and they're rolling.
For us it's good, because he's a great player, but we don't have much to do with it. It didn't hurt me. I said it after the game. But the league (watches) everything we do.
I played more aggressively tonight with more pace and that was helpful to our effort. We moved the ball very well and attacked the basket very hard. It was similar to Game 1, but we finished at the rim. They are playing great basketball and we really have to respect them going into the next game.
Probably if Ron is there, I score less points. But then somebody else is going to go off, like Tony (Parker) did in Game 1. We're confident in our scoring. We know how to move the ball and find the open man.
We played the whole playoff thinking they were not shooters.
I was playing like my head wasn't ready after what happened on Friday.
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.
