It was a case where they had to pick their poison. I heard them argue about what to do against us. Allen and I have been playing well lately. They have been talking this the last year and a half. We're glad that we played well tonight.

I heard the boos at the game, but you've got to understand -- I wanted to boo, too. I felt them. I don't take that personal, man. ... The booing doesn't bother me. I've been in the league 12 years and, like I said, I wanted to boo my damn self.

[Chris Webber has heard the reports that his relationship with O'Brien is strained. Not so, Webber said.] I don't have a problem with the coach, ... I have a problem coming to a situation where I was asked to come and I thought it was going to be conducive for all of us to be successful. I felt like I was the missing piece, and being the missing piece, they wouldn't even let me be the piece. It has nothing to do with the coach. He's in a [tough] situation. It has nothing to do with the organization.

You've got to pick your poison.

You kind of have to pick your poison. You didn't want to give up 3s, and you didn't want to let him have easy opportunities. They just made a lot of shots.

When you see a combination like that, you just have to pick your poison. We wanted to take away their drives and contest the post.
