great win
I really thought we were going to win that game. It was disappointing, but it's a great memory.
problem
It's kind of been our problem lately. We continually end up having to play out of a hole.
career case cut doubt family gets great jonathan man move obviously opportunity people potential practice saw shame short sorry time
It's a shame he never really got the opportunity to show people what he can do. We obviously saw glimpses of it in practice and in games. Obviously, the potential for him was unlimited. Any time a career gets cut short you feel sorry for him and that's obviously the case for Jonathan but he's a well-rounded young man who's got a great family and there's no doubt he'll be able to move on with his life.
athletics capable career chance cut fair gave knee people problems remember sad stage
It wasn't him that gave in, it was his knee that gave out. He never really got a fair chance. I remember him having these problems from day one. It's sad to see anybody's career cut short. He never got a chance to show people on a big stage what he was capable of. It's a very frustrating thing for any athlete.
attitude came coming everybody late loss upset
It's kind of late to say, but make a stand. Everybody is really upset with the way we've been playing, coming off an embarrassing loss in Detroit. Everybody came in with a different attitude tonight.
anytime couple days help hold home lead seattle
Anytime you can get up to a big lead like that, that's going to help you. We did the same thing in Seattle a couple of days ago at home and are able to hold on to the lead.
anybody bench certainly eight fun games happier headed last less playing pretending problems time
The last two games, we're playing better, happier for each other, more assists and less turnovers. It's fun to be out there. It's fun to be on the bench for the first time in a while. I certainly think things are headed in the right direction. But it doesn't take away from the problems we've had. I don't think anybody is pretending the last eight games didn't exist.
agree biggest calling concerns credit detroit disagree doubt favorites finals individual matter playing row saying sees won
I'm not saying I completely agree with him, but Detroit should be the favorites because they went to the Finals two years in a row and they won a championship. I can't disagree with him on that. I think there's no doubt one of our biggest concerns is playing as a team. We know we have a lot of individual talent. It's a matter of playing as a team. I give him credit for calling it how he sees it.
advantage against build character game great hard loss mistakes opportunity san tomorrow
It's hard to really build on this one. We have a big character game tomorrow against San Antonio, another great team, off a loss like this. But it is an opportunity to make up for the mistakes we made tonight, and we have to take advantage of that.
bad definitely denying national struggles
We definitely had our struggles and I don't think we're denying that. But it wasn't as bad as it was made out to be by the national media.
bigger control mind soon three today weeks
I acknowledge it's a possibility if they look to make it a bigger deal. I don't have any control over it. It's a distraction, but you would like for it to be over with as soon possible. It's not that it's in the back of your mind any more today than it was three weeks ago.
best gets legs nice player
It's nice to have our best player back. We know what he can do when he gets his legs under him.
best eight everybody late lost upset
It's kind of late (in the season) but we need to make a stand. I think everybody is really upset with the way we've been playing. When you've lost eight out of (ten), culminating with the blow-out (Sunday), the best thing to do is get back to basics.
