View Photo »You have to be disciplined
The Clippers – will they follow their leader Chris Paul? That’s how it goes…and the athletic ability and explosiveness for the Clippers' big guys. For Memphis, Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol are two of the best players in the league and their uncanny chemistry. Will those guys dominate inside?
We have to come out and win the first one ... That has to be our goal.
It's nothing like home, but it's nice to be on the road and try to take something from the other team
We got away from it ... We took too many good shots and we turned the ball over. That was our fault. [The Clippers] also did a better job of showing. So we stopped running it or I'd set the pick.
It’s a heartbreaker ... There is nothing we can do about this game. We have to worry about the second game on Wednesday.
He can't put too much pressure on himself ... He just needs to play hard and let the game come to him. He brings a lot to the table because he's a unique player. He can't be too anxious. He should just be patient and be who he is.
Sometimes, we play to the level of our opponents ... If we play a good team, we play a lot better. If we play the not-so-good teams, we play to their level. That's a part of the process of getting better and being a good team. At least, we get up at the end and realize that we've actually got to win.
We're trying to fight for something
It's that time of year where everybody is trying to fight for something or working towards next season ... We're trying to fight for something. If you look at the standings, you stay motivated.
Right now, we're trying to get there. It's still not going to be easy
It's hard to be perfect for 48 minutes, but we've got to get it up there to the 35-40 minute mark
We made a couple of mistakes ... Had a couple of turnovers, missed a couple of shots, didn't execute the way we wanted to. And that was the game.
They did whatever they wanted to ... When they wanted to shoot from the outside they had every shot they wanted. When they wanted to run, they ran. When they wanted to go inside, they went inside.
I’m not going to go there
We had our chances ... but our effort was there. If we play like this in every game, we’ll be OK.
The main thing is for Ricky to be OK. It's not about any team ... There's nothing more important now than his health. Everything else is secondary.
If you want to be a good team, you have to win on the road ... You have to come out, execute and be mentally stronger. We're taking steps forward, baby steps, it's a process.
Sometimes we shoot ourselves in the foot in those fourth quarters
We have a pretty good team
It does surprise me ... All he cares about his making his teammates better and winning. In the league those guys are hard to find. Guys that just play the right way and get everyone involved and move the ball. They don’t care about anything else but winning.
We got stops ... We did a good job on [the defensive] end. We were able to run and get easy buckets.
And he guided me a little bit
It would’ve been different if he wasn’t there ... But he was there and he had been through the same thing.
