Eduardo Najera Quotations

We're not going to play their game. We played half-court basketball (in the first two games) and got in trouble.

We're going to have some games that are going to be very similar to (Thursday). A win is a win, it doesn't matter how ugly it is.

I guess it is. That tip had a really good chance to go in.

He said it's always nice beating the team that he coached.

It felt pretty good. It feels I'll definitely play on Saturday. . . . I still feel pain, but I didn't got crazy (with a lot of minutes).

We know this team pretty well by now. They had a lot of confidence coming into Denver, but I think now they're thinking twice about us, and they're going to be a little bit worried about the next game.

You learn more from defeat than you do from victory. We've been through a lot the last month, and we're finally learning how to make big plays down the stretch.

We definitely want to get some momentum and feel good about ourselves. We've still got eight games. I'm sure we'll get it.

To tell you the truth, that's the way we played last year. We pretty much played free.

We've just got to stay positive. We've just got to keep on working. We've got a great coach and we've got great coaches around us. We've got a talented team. We've just got to get it together.

I've started many playoff games before, so it's not about me personally. I think it's just a challenge for us to beat the Clippers. They've beat us five games in a row and it's just a matter of coming out now and being more physical and being more aggressive.

The thing about the fouls is that it slows the pace of the game and all the fouls just keeps us from running.

It was a very exciting game to play and to watch. Every single detail counted. Every steal. Every rebound made a difference in this game.

It might be even more (of a wait).

It might be a good idea to get that pain (that bothers him when he cuts) to go away.

That's the beauty of our division. We're not so far behind and we feel that if we get on a winning streak, we'll be back in the race.

It's better. For once, most of the fluid is almost out. But it's still stiff.

I'm sure it's going to be pretty wild. Sacramento is wild, regardless. We know it.

I knew he would be all right. I didn't quite catch him with a straight knee. He's a very tough guy, though.

I don't know. I didn't see the play. I need to see it again. But most of the time, it's a violation when the free-throw shooter comes in, right? It might have been the right call, but anyway, we got it done. We did it the hard way again.
