I felt bad. It was far from what they assumed it to be.
I was trying to make a play get the ball and be aggressive. I felt I could get in there and get a call but to no avail.
It felt like I was playing with a ton of bricks on my chest.
We consider Miami one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference and we see it as a test each and every time. We felt we could really give them a run.
We always felt (catching Miami) was a possibility. But we have to take care of our jobs and just win. If we just win, everything will fall into place.
In our mind we felt they were going to play even harder because they were undermanned. But the effort in the first half was not what we wanted.
It just tightened up. When I went up, I just felt a grab and I didn't want it to tear. We're hoping it's just a cramp and I can play tomorrow.
As guards, we felt we needed to come back and help the big guys rebound.
It's just one of those things that happens. We were down 10 points at the half and still felt like we had a chance to win the game, because we've been in that position before.
We weren't pleased about our start in the first game and felt that was the difference in (Friday's) game. Tonight it was about energy and effort, and that's what we showed right from the tip.
We weren't pleased with our first half last game. We felt if we played better in the first half we could win tonight. It was all about effort and energy.
