When you're down by 19, it just puts too much pressure on your defense. We needed to make consecutive shots and just couldn't sustain it.
More Quotes from Paul Pierce:
I just take what comes to me. If the drive is there, I'm going to take it. If it's not there, I'll take a pull-up shot. I'm a confident player down the stretch and I feel like I can make the play when I have to.Paul Pierce
We just didn't execute down the stretch. We didn't make the plays and they did.
Paul Pierce
I just don't think we showed a sense of urgency we need down the stretch. That's what good teams do.

The last story with Siegfried was the funniest. It's good that these guys are still able to do that come in and talk to us for the young players to see what the tradition is all about. They hear about it, but until you really come here and experience it yourself, you really don't understand.

A lot of the times, the ball came into my hands and everybody was watching. Memphis did a great job. When I would put the ball on the ground and come off the pick-and-roll, they would corral, trap with two or three guys and made me make the extra pass.

There's going to be a lot of things to think about. But I'm not really ready for all that yet. It'd be great to stay in one place my whole career, but in the back of every player's mind, you have to be thinking about what it'd be like to be a free agent one time. Then again, you never know what can happen. I really shouldn't talk too much about it until I really sit down and think about it. I just know this is going to be a big summer for me.
