222 Quotes by Doc Rivers

Notre Dame and Wisconsin were the two biggest games when I was in college,

You know we're going to make it close. But this was a great win for us. We needed a road win.

It's not about who we play, but about keeping up the tradition, about maintaining the streak.

We never had any rhythm. In the second half the defense was much better and we cut into it a little bit. But when you spot a team (19) points, and that team has Kobe, you know eventually during your run that he is going to make a shot.

It's rare when you can get a playoff intensity in the regular season.

You knew they were going to come at you. It was a no-brainer. I don't think we understood that. Last night we came out ready to play and we were focused. We talked about that tonight, but they did it.

Their defense really bothered us. Paul had to work way too hard to get his offense. I thought it took a toll on him.

We didn't play well. One of the referees said this was one of the ugliest games he's seen in quite some time. And I told him I agree, but I wanted it to look pretty for us at the end. Unfortunately it didn't.

I just want the players to decide the game. It's a tough one because this game was ours. Despite all the turnovers and the missed free throws, we still should have won this game.
