Ben Gordon Games Quotations

We took our bumps early. Some games when you're down, you're like, 'Uh, oh,' you get nervous. I don't know about the rest of the team, but I felt like I just knew we were going to win.

It is crazy. That's why every game is so important to us. You can't afford to be dropping games because we're not playing hard or we didn't come with the necessary intensity.

We have to step our games up; we have to find a way to win. We just have to find ways to play well and eliminate our mistakes.

We have four games left, and we have to play the best basketball we can. We can't be concerned with anybody else.

We like our chances. They (Miami) are tough but we'll go in there and give it our. The last 16 games we've put it together on all levels.

Every game our chances are getting slimmer and slimmer. We just have to seize the moment and win games that we have control over. We've got to bring our 'A' game every night. Especially our effort, we have to have the same effort consistently every night.

This is definitely a game where we can win and where we'd be making a very bad mistake if we don't come out and do the necessary things to win. This is a tough road trip, and the games you can win, you definitely have to get.

It's a very painful loss. We just weren't able to make the plays we needed to down the stretch. It's just really frustrating. We're losing these games because of one or two possessions.
