Dirk Nowitzki Hard Quotations

It's hard not to get caught up in this race, but obviously, it doesn't matter if you're a one or a four seed if you don't play at a high level. You've got to make sure you're clicking on all cylinders and have everybody healthy. That's really more of a concern than the one or the four seed.

When he picks off an offensive rebound for us and gets it out, we can set up again and get another chance to score. And it makes the other team continue to work that much harder on defense.

It's kind of hard not to get caught up in the race. You're half a game up, half a game down. There's pressure on every game now.

It's two disappointing loses but we can't really hang our heads down because we were right there. We had our chances to beat both of them. We know what we need to do. We still have over 20 games left. We have to improve on both ends of the floor. We'll work harder in practice and be there hopefully be there in April, May and June.
