lost performance played
We played so much better and we played harder, but it's tough. It was a better performance but I'm disappointed that we lost the (darn) game.
chances felt focus focused game goal good hopeful improvement legitimate night point team took
There is a lot to be hopeful for and the focus is here. I wanted to keep the team focused on improvement and that was my goal when I took the job. I think it got to a point where I felt good every night about our chances to win. And that's what you want, to go into each game with a legitimate chance to win.
anybody coming demands double good knew quite
Wade can do so many things. And when O'Neal demands a double team, Wade can kill you. I don't think anybody knew he would be quite this good coming out of Marquette.
column expect five fully games loss
We fully expect to try to make the playoffs. We're five games out of the loss column and we're in first place in our division. These are the kind of games we have to get.
dug hole shortcuts start taking terrible
We were taking shortcuts out there, got off to a terrible start defensively and really dug a hole offensively.
good respond
We weren't very good at anything. We just weren't there. We didn't respond physically. We didn't respond mentally. We just got our butts kicked.
amount asked games guys season three trades
We've really had three seasons. We had the first 30 games with Bobby. Then they asked me to do this and we had X amount of games with the guys who really didn't want to be here and guys who did. Then we had the season after the trades were made.
hates planned
We had planned to go without him, then Luke's out there shooting. I said, 'What are you doing?' He said, 'I told you I was playing.' He just hates sitting.
bit came changed effect halftime
We changed a little bit at halftime and came from the perimeter and that probably had as big an effect as anything we did in the game.
shots
We got shots contested, but we just got manhandled, I think, for the first time.
certain floor game good guys help job jump push pushing ray ready
We went into the game with the idea that Ray would try to push him to a certain part of the floor and there would be help there. I thought Ray did a good job of pushing him there and then our big guys were ready to at least make him take a jump shot.
seattle shame team
To me, Seattle has always been a cornerstone of the NBA. It would be shame if the team had to leave.
easy point
We scored too easy and at some point that was going to subside.
ahead huge stayed step training
We just weren't there, sorry, we just weren't there. It's huge to have a training camp. But they were just better than us tonight. They were a step ahead of us, stayed a step ahead of us. We just didn't get in the game. Nothing worked. We just got our butts kicked.
