I'm not going to start the game by cracking a cat in the skull if I don't get elbowed first.

It's no statement. It's just another game. Statements won't be made until the playoffs.

I didn't like the start of the game. The first two shots were not how you start a game. What I liked was as the game got going we had a big lead, we never got out of whack. We kept running our offense.

This wasn't any kind of statement -- you make statements in the playoffs. This was just playing a game against a very good team.

This diversity of misery and joy is no more than excited neurons in the skull.

We had the first-game jitters. We had a lot of guys who were playing their first-ever indoor game. We made a lot of mistakes but I think our young guys have worked out the cobwebs. I'm hoping that it's going to be a lot different game than two weeks ago. No, I'm banking on it being a lot different game.
