I think it changes a game. Like when Ahmet blocks a shot in the post, (the opponents) start hesitating and looking to see where he is.

We're the underdogs here, no question. So it's the kind of game that can really get you going for the rest of the year if you pull it off.

We have a tendency to get helter-skelter when we start our transition game. I think we did a better job of keeping the floor spread in the second half and not committing as many turnovers.

When is it going to start? That's the question I posed to them tonight. When are we going to start beating quality teams? It's time to put up or shut up. That's how I look at it.

When you're getting your ass kicked, you get on to game four. That's what it's about.

It changes things a lot when one of the best pitchers in the game gets ejected. I think you'd see a lot of teams roll over in that situation.
