I don't think it's a total rebuilding situation.
You're a win streak away from striking distance.
Guys were giving up good shots to get great shots.
He can't change what has happened. But (Wednesday) night he wanted us to start being a better team. That's the bottom line.
I give all the credit to the coaching staff and my teammates, because they always encourage me to do well, whether it's in practice or in a game. They believe I can get out there and make plays, and when I get going, everybody is pumping me up, trying to have me continue to attack and play well.
At the end of the day, we're all going to be judged by wins and losses and since they're not a first-place team, he's going to take a lot of criticism but I think he's made some good moves.
That's the thing about the NBA it's all about runs. We didn't attack the basket and didn't get to the free-throw line enough. We came back but they put us out of range with that second quarter.
It felt good to be out there and hear your name called. They had 20 more shots than we did, but we did a good job of keeping the turnovers low and knocking down open looks when we had them. We did a better job in the second half of playing defense.
I've never been part of a situation like that -- and I'm sure I've never heard anybody in professional sports make a comment so negative that early in the season,
That number won't haunt this club. They did a nice job of running. They had 36 points on the break. Having played in Denver, I understand how they feed off the altitude. When they get a long rebound, Anthony is taking off. They throw the touchdown pass to him and he's athletic and is a very good finisher.
They played this game like it was their championship game, and rightfully so. Those guys are hungry for NBA jobs.
That's what they do. They lead the league in 3-point attempts for a reason, and sometimes they are going to knock them down.
Being around the league for a long time, who's to say whether it's a charge or not. The reality of it is, 14 seconds to go, the seven-foot guy falling like he got shot with a gun. Normally that doesn't warrant a call.
Being around the league for a long time, ... who is to say if it was a charge or not? Normally it doesn't warrant a call, but any time you get a couple of turnovers like I had, the refs aren't going to give you any breaks.
