I'm sure he is from everything I hear, but I've got to wait until that happens.
He played well. He got all the big shots.
I guess they were taking it to the hole and we weren't.
In a close game like this, you're battling and you can't afford turnovers and allow them to score. When they were shooting free throws, we were taking jump shots. It doesn't work that way. You've got to attack the basket.
(Williams) played well, and he got it done for them. He hit all the big shots, got into the paint when he needed to, to find guys and get easy looks. He did a good job tonight.
When someone is scoring like that, everybody else isn't involved. When they do shoot, they're ice cold, so that worked in our favor.
We came out a little flat and we shouldn't have had that type of lapse. We had a great shoot-around, so there was no reason for us to come out and play the way we did.
(We want to) give the fans something to look forward to next year. We're going to be a much better team, and we are going to be scratching and clawing our way into the playoffs next year.
We're a better team than we were last year. We've given away 10 games this year. We have to continue to compete.
We just want our goal to be to double our win total from last year. Over these last five games, we have to find a way to win two or three of them. I think that is our focus right now and to continue to get better as a team going into next year.
We took a couple steps backwards. The last couple of games we were focused in the fourth quarter and pretty much could get the job done. Tonight, we didn't do that.
We kind of got disoriented by not running our stuff. But we came out and played the way we're supposed to in the second half.
We're so close. If we didn't have such a bad start, we'd be in the thick of things. We're still playing for a lot of pride.
When you're a bad team, you don't get any benefit-of-the-doubt calls. You see it on TV, the media knows it, and we were a casualty of that tonight. We played as hard as they did. We deserved that one as much as they did.
