This was a Game 7 for us. We needed it, it was a must-win for us, and we came out with that intensity ... Same thing for next game as well.
Listen the Mavs had a great run. But they got old quickly...These guys are too young, too athletic, too big for the Mavs ... I don't see how Dallas can win a game. They got championship pride. But that don't mean anything with a team that's younger and faster.
This figures to be it now for the Mavs going forward with this particular group. There will be some changes made for Rick Carlisle and Mark Cuban. For Oklahoma City, this is just another step in the process...This is all part of a future that seems unlimited for the Thunder.More quotes »
