Shane Battier Played Quotations

We have played well in April (8-1). That hasn't been the case in the last two years. The main focus has been to play well and go into the playoffs with some momentum. Obviously, Dallas is playing good as well. It's a big challenge, but it's a challenge that should be fun.

I thought we played good enough to win, but Elton willed them to victory.

Pau played a man's game tonight. That's what a franchise player does.

We feel good about ourselves. We feel that we have played well in April, which has not been the case the last two years.

We played a team (Tuesday) that really wasn't sharp in their execution, and if we can do that against the playoff teams, then we'll be a lot more excited.

The bench played well. They would have made a difference had we played well.
