What am I gonna do? Complain about it?
last loss motivation mouths remember taste
We have to remember how embarrassing that loss was and not want to have that taste in our mouths again. That's motivation enough. We didn't come out and play like it was a playoff-caliber game. That's what we have to do for these last games.
doubt doubts early grind mental parts people whether worked
We had some doubts early on as to whether we'd even make the playoffs. It's been an up-and-down season. People said we weren't going to make the playoffs. It's been a mental grind and frustrating at parts of the season, but we worked through it.
ball care job offensive poor taking threw
We did a poor job of taking care of the ball. There was too many times when we just just threw the ball away and we had to many offensive fouls.
anybody basketball best concerned four games
We have four games left, and we have to play the best basketball we can. We can't be concerned with anybody else.
streak turn
We were 5-10 before this game, and that's just unacceptable at home. We have to turn that around and try to get a streak going.
lapse mental worst
We can't come out and have all these lapses. If they get two, at worst we're going into overtime. It was just a mental lapse on our part.
eliminate games step ways
We have to step our games up; we have to find a way to win. We just have to find ways to play well and eliminate our mistakes.
games last together tough
We like our chances. They (Miami) are tough but we'll go in there and give it our. The last 16 games we've put it together on all levels.
bumps felt games knew rest took
We took our bumps early. Some games when you're down, you're like, 'Uh, oh,' you get nervous. I don't know about the rest of the team, but I felt like I just knew we were going to win.
bring crowd disappoint game problem
We just have to bring it every night, especially at home. I don't know what our problem has been, but we can't disappoint our crowd like this. We have to show up for a game like this.
plays thrust time
Those were big plays for us, because at the time we were struggling. They were really making a thrust defensively and offensively.
problem
We didn't come to play. I don't know what our problem is. We've got to show up for games.
