126 Quotes by Pau Gasol

We wanted to jump on them quick because when you get hit first it's hard to jump back up. It'll be great if we're able to keep this up and go into the playoffs with this confidence we're playing with.

We came out in the second and played hard. We want to be in that playoff race and this game was crucial.

We have this five game (home) stretch here, and we've already lost two, and we just cannot afford to lose anymore. I will do whatever it takes and trying to play with a little more confidence than I did before these two games and be more aggressive.

Unfortunately, we're not machines. Absolutely, we know what's going on.

We didn't seem to feel comfortable. That was the feeling I had during the whole game. We couldn't get to our offense. We couldn't get to what we wanted out of the plays we ran. It really wasn't a consistent offense on our part. We were very sloppy.

We're not trying to slow down. We're trying to keep our minds in a competitive mode. We'll face whoever we have to face.

We were able to wear them out a little bit at the end. Finally we rebounded and made some defensive stops toward the end.

We believe in ourselves. We believe that winning the third game changes the whole thing. We're so anxious to win that first game, and everybody keeps reminding you of the record that it's hard to get rid of. But I don't think it's much of what (Dallas) did. It's more about what we didn't do well enough to hang in there and have a chance to win.
