We have made it a point of emphasis all year. Our guys have to use better judgment about when to shoot (the ball) and when to drive and draw contact. There were some games when we were in the penalty (situation) for four or five minutes and still had not shot a free throw.
More Quotes from Scott Skiles:
O'Neal is in charge of that. We are not in charge of that. When O'Neal wants to get things done, he will. He got in some foul trouble, he had an off-night. He doesn't have many of those.Scott Skiles
We didn't play as smart as we needed to in some instances. But we put it all out there. ... We took it down to the end. We had our opportunities. We just weren't able to make the big plays when it was necessary to make them.

Fouling him and putting him on the line makes him theoretically shoot less field goals and puts him on the line, but it also puts their team in the penalty earlier every quarter. And then other guys are going to the line. ... So if we're just fouling Shaq sort of indiscriminately, it can be a long night.

I thought he showed some flashes of what stuff he could do. He scored around the basket and showed a nice touch on a perimeter shot. I was happy to be able to give him as many minutes.

The thing we have to be concerned with is our turnovers, especially down there. If you told me before the series started that we'd have an 18-turnover game and two with 17 and we were going to be 2-2, I'd have said that was a stretch. We can't go down there and turn the ball over 17, 18 times and expect to win. We want to open up the floor, but we have to rely on our decisions.

I'm happy for our guys. You have to always wonder if they're going to get dejected because we've had so many close calls in games where we weren't able to make the big plays. We're starting to come around.
