There are teams that ordsprog

There are teams that have got in on the last game. It's about pride and professionalism. In this situation, the fact that we have to make up some points, some ground, if we can't muster up a desire to compete, then we don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

You know you're in every game, you know you're competing with teams that are in the playoffs and teams at the top of the league. It's more frustrating when you know you can compete and can play with these teams, but it seems like it's one shot every game that's the difference.

Everybody seems to want to take away from accomplishments. The fact all five teams made it is a testament to each of those teams. Cleveland and us weren't in the playoffs last year, and the fact we jumped into the playoffs shows you even more about the division.

We've definitely tried to take the romance out of the game. You don't want to be thinking about playoffs and finals and the like. We want to do away with that, and put it down to your professionalism, ability and concentration all the things that we've done all season. Just try and make it another game.

Steve Nicol (1961-)

The fact of the matter is we need to find a way to (win). I don't think we want to find a way. Do we want to dig deep down and find where our pride is? Do we want to be considered a team that wants to have a chance to make the playoffs? Not win a championship team, make the playoffs. That's sad to say.

If you look at the opportunity of another six points we could have skipped clear a bit in this game, so that's the most disappointing thing. We didn't play well in this game and really didn't deserve to win, and we have to find a way to win at this ground. His relaxed confidence and effortless charm defined his pleasing pe𝗑iness.

I think there are too many average teams in the playoffs to begin with. But if we can't go .500 in league, we don't deserve to go to the playoffs.

We have to win this last game, and I feel if we don't win, then we don't deserve to make the playoffs. We have let enough games get by this year, and this one is a crucial game for us. It should be an easy game for our guys to get ready for.

[Although opinions vary on just how much of an impact the new guidelines are having -- and whether they are good for the game -- most league observers agree they have contributed to the rise in scoring. Overall NBA teams are averaging 96.3 points per game, up nearly four points from a year ago at this time. Eight teams currently average more than 100 points a game, compared to just two a season ago.] I'd have to say it's been a major factor, ... It's giving teams incentive to attack the basket, which has led to higher percentage shots and better quality shots.

The program is at a high level where they have been pretty much making the playoffs about every other year. Our ultimate goal is to make the playoffs. But I don't want to emphasize the playoffs too much. Hopefully we should be able to compete for the playoffs every year.

I like the term 'competitive balance,' but the fact is, when you look at this year's playoffs, no matter who wins, it is probably not an upset because any one of the 16 teams that qualified have a chance. The regular season was exciting. There were 24 teams in the hunt until just about the end. Then, when you look at these series, the playoffs are off to a strong start.

Right now, we're in a playoff position and if we get some points in our final game, we're going to the playoffs. The other teams can't say that.

[Consider this: O'Neal scored no points in Washington. He and Alonzo Mourning together scored no points in Game 4. Yet, the Wizards lost both games at home. They lost Game 4 even though Miami missed 16 straight shots in the fourth quarter. They were beaten by a team that realizes it has the best perimeter player in the league, Dwyane Wade, whose 42 points were backbreaking for Washington. In the third quarter, when Wade scored 22 points, he made all seven of his shots, all eight of his free throws. Nobody in the game under 6 feet 10 is as good as Wade is right now. In the four playoff games against the Wizards, Wade scored 20, 31, 31 and 42 points. He averaged eight assists and seven rebounds. Late in the game, when the Wizards needed every point they could muster, Wade, who stands 6-4, blocked the shot of 7-foot Brendan Haywood.] I want the ball in my hands, ... I want to make plays for the guys. I got in that matrix [in the third quarter]. I felt like I couldn't miss.

You focus on your end goal -- to make the playoffs. You know what you have to accomplish every night to do that. You go out there and try to win that game. It's a dogfight. When you have this many teams bunched up this tight, it's almost like the last one standing gets to go to the playoffs.

I knew this would be a really tough meet. There were four teams that could score from 45 to 50 points. It was sort of like a jigsaw today. We held our ground and didn't make any mistakes. The other three teams made some mistakes. But, I don't worry about the other teams. I just worry about doing everything we can correctly. Then we let the chips fall where they will.
