We didn't take care of it. We just struggled handling the ball.
We're looking at our own sizes, we're looking at our friends' sizes,
It was important. We know they were a team that's been struggling all year and we just wanted to get this win tonight. Being that we got the one on their home court, we figured they were gonna try to come in and win one on ours and we did a good job of being focused and playing the game and finishing it out.
I thought he played great. He played well in training camp. I'm excited about it. We played well with each other tonight.
I don't think the loss will make us play any harder. If you aren't playing hard at this point, then you aren't going to be playing hard anyway.
Just inconsistent. But the positive part of it all is that the season's not over. (We've) still got a chance to get into the playoffs and start a new season. For us to tank it now would be crazy. (We're) definitely not going to give up. We've got a long way to go.
I'd rather go to the playoffs than not go, even with a losing record. Because once you get there, you never know.
You can't just put it on one thing. We have been doing a lot of things well. We are playing well together, we are defending, we are doing a lot of positive things out there.
I think he had a great camp. I think it's the first year John's playing relaxed and you can tell by what he's doing out there on the basketball court.
I think it would have been good if we could have played all pre-season games together. It will be something we'll have to deal with, something we'll have to fight through.
It was a team effort. We did everything that we needed for the win. You can't put it on one thing. We've been doing a lot of things well. We're playing well together. We're defending. We're doing a lot of positive things out there. We're putting ourselves in a (position) to win. We're giving ourselves a chance every night, just playing well defensively. We feel like every night we can score 100 points, but we've got to stop people.
If that didn't let him know this weekend that he can be a great player in this league, then nothing will. But I think he got the message.
It's not like defenses are out there just giving guys 50 and 60 points. You have to look at what's going on this season and realize there are just as many great players playing today as there ever has been in this game.
They played better offensively and we did a bad job guarding, ... We had a chance to put them away but we have been going through this the last couple of games, having leads and giving them up.
