Every game is important for us. We have a big one tomorrow (against Boston) and we have the opportunity to play Philadelphia twice and gain two games on them. They're all big from here. We've got to treat each game as if its a playoff game.
bring capable coach effort full games given needs shows sustaining
Tonight, we really showed what we're capable of. It shows that we haven't given our full effort all year. Some games we bring it and some we don't. Sustaining that effort is big for this team. Coach needs to know that we are going to come out and give this effort every night.

agenda coaches guys head hear help mentioned messes players responding seem stop trying valid win
Scott mentioned something to me about it. It's a valid point. There are times when the coaches kind of seem like they're always on the players and players just stop responding just because they feel as if they can do nothing right. It kind of messes with your head a bit. So when you hear it from the guys -- that our agenda is to win and we're trying to help each other and be there for each other -- it relaxes you a little bit.
everybody hard hope lines phone pray text touch
There's some nervousness because not everybody is accounted for, ... We haven't been able to get in touch with everyone. The phone lines are busy, so it's hard to make contact. The only way to do it is through (telephone) text messages, really. We can only hope and pray that everybody is all right.
defense extra guess putting situations starting
Our defense has been suffocating to where we've been making them make extra passes. We've been rotating and putting them in situations where they're uncomfortable. I guess the frustration is starting to get to them a little bit.

People don't have to donate money, ... Money would be fine, but it also could be food or clothes or anything else that would help the people there. We just want to get the word out and do as much as we can.
