You've got to give the Suns credit for their execution. I think we played even with them, although they had a lot of great hustle plays to gain the advantage. But this is just the first game. We've got to go back to the drawing board.

We need to have our showers, there's some guys in here who should be showering more often than they are.

If I was coaching I would've yanked his butt out of the game. After a couple of those long bombs, I would've sat him down.

At this point, we don't even care. We know what we've got to do, and we know what we need to do -- and that's get the title back. That's our focus, our goal. All the other stuff, hey, people can say what they want to say or not. They'll put us on the prime-time or whatever. It doesn't matter to us. We just want the title back.

I have (been aware of them) because it's on our Web site and it's been mentioned to me before. I try not to get too caught up in statistics. That's not what I shoot for, I just go out there every game and do what I do best and that is how I get the results in the end.

The difference tonight was intensity and execution -- things we lacked all year.
