answer energy game hangover last loss night played sluggish team tired whether
I thought we played sluggish and tired all night long. I just thought the energy wasn't there. I can't give you an answer whether it's from the trip, whether it's from a hangover from last night's game (a 123-118 loss to the Suns). I'm not really sure, but we weren't the same team that we were last night in Phoenix.
aggressive beginning fatigue game half last mentally night ourselves played pull second succumbed team
I thought we mentally succumbed to fatigue in the beginning of the game because we played last night and that's what I told the team. We were the more aggressive team in the second half and got ourselves back in the game. We just didn't have enough to pull it off.
bench broke came coming game guys taylor won
I thought their guys coming off the bench won the game for them. Daniels and Taylor are the guys who came in and broke our back with 16 and 10 respectively.
best bitter bottom definitely focused game loss player season sloppy top worst
I think this was definitely our worst loss of the season and it's very bitter for me because their best player (Iverson) was out. I thought we were sloppy offensively the whole game and we weren't focused defensively. I thought from top to bottom it was from every individual, our worst game of the year.
against ahead certainly coming game games people stopped talking
We haven't stopped talking about it and that's where we are. We have games coming up with people ahead of us, Chicago, Philadelphia, Indiana, and that's certainly not overlooking tomorrow's game against Atlanta.
along game half inability opportunity second turn win
We get the game where we have the opportunity to win it, then we turn it over. The turnovers in the second half I thought killed us - along with our inability to make shots.
beginning dug early game hole job mind ourselves second win
We didn't come out at the beginning of the game with the mind set that we were going to win this game. We did a better job in the second half, but we dug ourselves a hole early on.
against changes detroit far games might nice played since stretch test time
We'll see how we do against them. That's the nice thing about having games down the stretch -- you might as well test yourself against the best. This will be the first time we've played Detroit since we've made the changes in our team. We'll see how far we've come.
chasing combine credit game parts playing terms thinking
He's doing more than he's ever had to really do before, in terms of thinking about the game and playing all the parts of the game. And to combine that with chasing down every rebound, that's a credit to him that he's able to keep that pace.
bit felt game looked morning practice rather rush until waited
He looked like like he was still favoring it a little bit this morning when he was out on the floor. We just felt it would be much better for him if he waited until Wednesday's game and he was able to get a practice or two under his belt, rather than rush him right back into a game.
basketball call games trend whether
I don't know whether you can call it a trend or not. But it's two games now where we've been better with the basketball offensively.
basically came defensive early game good guys offensive picked production second shots
I can't say enough good things about the bench. I thought early in the game we lacked energy. Guys came in and picked it up for us; picked up our defensive intensity. It was basically the same thing in the second half. We got good shots and good offensive production from our bench.
decided game gave ourselves
We gave ourselves more than a chance, and I was disappointed that the game wasn't decided by the players, that it was decided by the officials.
bit game shots struggling tonight win
We don't win the game tonight without him out there. He made all the big shots when we were struggling a little bit offensively.
