We expected the tall guys, we've heard all about them. But we didn't expect them to start lighting it up from the outside.

We like to play a slow game. They ran on us and we got winded; then they just kept running on us.

It was really hard, I had to play smart. The guards did a good job of getting me the ball in the right positions.

I could hardly expect a worse start to the match. But after my blunder the guys told me that I shouldn't worry. They did everything it took to win this match and to stop me feeling bad.

You never really know what to expect. He did OK. He was overthrowing, but that's [something] to be expected. But he hung tough and kept us in there. He'll be a good one -- get that one out of the way and feel like he belongs.

These guys expected it. They went out champions in my book and that's the way I'll always look at it.
