More Quotes from Rick Carlisle:
The third quarter did us in, because in the first half I thought we played very intelligently and very hard. In the third quarter, they got going and we just couldn't get stops.Rick Carlisle
It's critical, let's face it. We're in a must-win situation almost every night. We have to win games. I just thought the guys came together as a team and did some really great things. It's important to be a playoff team. We've got a string of years we need to keep going.

You can't look at their record. They've been a problem for us the last two years. We did some good things to put us in a strong situation and made some mistakes.
Rick Carlisle
The whole game we were shooting in the 30s and we could never get anything going offensively to set up our defense. When you get behind big you end up taking more 3s than you want to take, and 32 is a number that's too many. If you're taking that many, you're probably playing from behind and not in a very good position.
Rick Carlisle
It opens up the game a little bit for us offensively. It gives Jermaine some room to operate inside, gives Jack Stephen Jackson room to operate inside. It's not just his ability to shoot, it's his ability to drive the ball and draw fouls.
