Game 10 vs NOH, 17.11.2010
(On the game) "Our undoing was the third quarter, when we were dominated. We lose the quarter by 16 points and we get our ass kicked."
Game 35 vs OKC, 07.01.2011
(On the Game) "I really thought our undoing was not having a stronger first half. [...] I think we struggled defensively in the second half, we struggled on the boards, and the timely second-chance points were our undoing down the stretch.

"You see, that is scientifc proof that we lose everytime you mention our undoing.."
(On the Game) "The first quarter was our undoing. Giving up 31 got us in a hole. Right now, our shotmaking isn’t there. But we’ve just got to stay with it."
Game 53 @ Denver, 10.02.2011
(On the Game) "I look at the entire stat sheet. Our undoing was the entire first quarter."

(On the Mavs efficiency on the Segababa's) "Look, we're a good 4th quarter team, so... i'm not surprised.
