Doc Rivers Came Quotations

Nash is Terrell Owens for them. He came in and turned the whole franchise around with his performance.

It came down to the fact that they've been together and they trusted each other. They made a run and they played great defense. You knew they were going to do that.

You knew they were going to come at you. It was a no-brainer. I don't think we understood that. Last night we came out ready to play and we were focused. We talked about that tonight, but they did it.

Turnovers killed us. Some guys came with great effort, and some guys had their minds and luggage on the plane.

It was just an awful game for us. They came prepared and we didn't, and that's the coach's fault.

The funniest part is I missed most of the celebration because I ran into the locker room because I thought that's what everyone did, ... I probably sat in there for five minutes and not one player came in there. I came back out and Michael Wilson's on the rim, guys are celebrating. I guess I should have stayed out there, but I didn't know.

They really came in to show us, prove a point, whatever you want to say. They came in and played great, so just give them credit. ... But their performance didn't sway me at all with the trade. The trade was a tremendous trade for us and, hopefully, a good trade for them. One thing about Mark and all of them, I hope they do well. I just didn't want them to do well against us.
