Detroit, San Antonio, Miami, Dallas, Phoenix ... those are going to be the teams talked about. Nobody is going to talk about (the Nets). We will let our play speak for itself and none of us have to say anything.

I've been talking to the head coach (of the Triple A team) in San Antonio and he said Phoenix is in a lockdown. You call and no one answers the phone.

I don't think Detroit was ecstatic when they won a division. I don't think San Antonio is going to be excited when they win theirs. . . . This is just one step.

We played a great defensive game against Detroit, a great defensive game against Oklahoma (New Orleans) and San Antonio, and we do the little things that it takes to win big games. Then we come back tonight and we just don't scrap enough. I don't know if that's youth. I don't know if it's a heart thing. I hope it's not a heart thing.

Yeah, that's about how I saw it. Them and San Antonio are probably the two most physical teams in the league, yet both of them go to the foul line more than anyone else.

It would have meant nothing to beat Dallas, Detroit and Miami if we would have gone out here and lost to Atlanta. You've got to beat the teams that you're supposed to beat.
