Gasol on Udrich , Conley absences:

Without Mike, without Beno, I know how competitive we are. I’m sure guys will be ready.

Coach Stotts on Game 3 loss:

We had the momentum, we hit some shots, the crowd was behind us, and I thought it was going to be one of those games where we find a way to pull it out.

Aldridge on Grizzlies:

I’ve got to give credit to Memphis, they definitely forced us into some tough shots. I was watching film from the first half: Every time I took a shot they had a guy right there, and sometimes three guys. They have some defensive goals and it’s tough.

I was wide open. Shots like that I’ve got to take. I knocked down and then two more times I came out of the screen and knocked them down again. I was just being aggressive.

Aldrigde on TrailBlazers loss:

I think a good wakeup call for us. But definitely tonight they manhandled us.
