Neither team played defense. A lot of guys scored points and there was a lot of foul shooting and a lot of fouling. If we could have made a couple of stops, we would have won the game.
I think it's a sense of urgency. When we have our backs to the wall and we need to win a game, I think we really focus in. We've got to find a way to have that sense of urgency, whether it's a seven-game winning streak or a seven-game losing streak, every time we step on the floor if we want to make the playoffs this year.
The young guys got a lot of talent. Right now, they're playing with their talent, and they're playing better than what we expected of them.
I'm a jumper, he's a passer. So there's going to be some spectacular plays going on.
You still wear a suit, you still could be a crook,
It was one of those games. Neither team played defense tonight.... It was one of those games where guys were scoring. If we would have made a couple of stops, we would have won the game.
T-Mac is so hard to stop. You just try to find ways to slow him down, but once he gets going, it's pretty hard.
We just didn't execute our game plan. We had a game plan to slow Pau down and we did a good job on him, but they had other guys come up big.
We want to win a lot of games. There are some tough teams coming in here and we're going to some tough places, but we can still win a lot of games.
We've got a lot of winnable games coming up, but teams aren't going to come in and bow down to us. The season is coming to an end, we still have an opportunity. It has to be a big trip for us.
We missed easy shots we're very capable of making. That was a lack of focus. We lost the game because we didn't execute toward the end. ... We're not satisfied with people talking about us. We want to make the playoffs.
We are still positive. We're still right there. Of course we are not playing at the level we're capable of and winning games we are capable of winning. However, it's not the end of the world and it's not the end of the season. We can always change things around.
We just have to continue to play hard like we've been doing and dig ourselves out of this hole. We just need to learn how to finish up games.
We're still hoping. The Kings have got the playoff spot we want. We know we've pretty much got to run the table from here on out.
