“When you are missing your most experienced player and your starting point guard, and then you lose your leading scorer and your go-to guy, and you are coming from losing a game like the one we did, it’s very hard to overcome,” Ginobili said. “It’s not that we are satisfied with that or we feel that we are finding excuses, those are the reasons I find, and I am not proud of it, but that’s over. Now, they beat us both games in their home, and we’ve got to try and come and do the same here.”

“You hope that [Leonard] is ready and that he can help us,” Ginobili said. “If he doesn’t, we will try to face the game as if it’s a Game 7. We know that going down [0-3] would be really tough to overcome, and Game 3 is huge.”

當你失去最有經驗的球員，甚至是一位球隊先發控衛之後，接著又失去球隊得分王和決定勝負的關鍵殺手，然後再用這種方式輸掉第一戰…要撐過去真的很困難。

並不是說我們對自己的表現感到滿意或找藉口，但這就是我找到的原因，我無法為此感到自豪，不過這一切都結束了。他們在家連續擊敗我們兩次，現在輪到我們嘗試完成相同的事。

我們在第三戰將會拿出不同的表現，你希望Leonard準備好為我們帶來幫助，如果沒有，我們會把下一場當成我們的第七戰來打，一旦輸了翻身就難了，所以第三戰很重要。
