chance explain game hard offense playoff problem stop team trying urgency win
We had a chance to win but it was like the whole game, we just couldn't stop them. Our offense wasn't the problem tonight. It was our defense. It's hard to explain when every game is so important, especially with a team we're trying to chase. Not to have that sense of urgency like it's a playoff game, is really a shame.
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.
dumbest eighth harder prepare team time
This is about the six, seventh, eighth time this has happened. We do the dumbest things that keep us from winning. It's been the same story all year. I think we prepare harder than any team in the NBA. We go over the same things over and over, and we still make the same mistakes.
everybody harder last league past people plays record respect slow sneak surprised team
It's going to be harder than it was last year. We were able to sneak up on people last year, with our past record and our slow start. People were surprised with how we were able to play. I think this year, I think we have the respect from everybody in the league that we're going to be a team that plays hard every night. So, we're going to have to play harder.
definitely harder miami
I think you'll see a different Miami team. They will definitely come out and play harder than they did tonight.
focused game gave hard plan playoff team trying urgency
It's hard to explain, every game is important especially with a team we're trying to chase. For us not to have that sense of urgency like it's a playoff game it's a shame. We should've been focused and executed the game plan and just gave an all-out effort, which we didn't.
defense hard percent played shot shots stepped
We played hard and our defense stepped up. They only shot about 32 percent (23-of-71) from the field, but they made the shots down the stretch.
early easy
I think early on, we thought everything would come easy for us.
chances formula limits percent shooting success
Our formula for success is our defense. When they're shooting plus-50 percent each game, that limits our chances to win.
earlier game games mature season starting team win
This was a game that earlier in the season we probably would not have won. We have really started to mature as a team and we're starting to win games like this.
adversity execute offensive overcome team throughout
We were able to execute on the offensive end. We know this team is going to (have to) overcome a lot of adversity throughout the year, and we showed that tonight.
elite games national sweet toughest
Some of your toughest games come in the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight. Usually, this is where we feel national championships are won.
bounce found legitimate tough
That was probably my first legitimate tough stretch. I always found a way to bounce back.
high start
That's the story all year. We start to tighten up. It's frustrating because we had such high expectations, and we're not getting it done.
