Maybe we're giving up too easy. I don't know what it is. I'm mentally worn down, (and) I'm playing on one knee. I just can't move, but I'm still on the court. I had a horrible game. I haven't showed up the last four games.
He's not afraid to make mistakes. It's amazing how he gets offensive rebounds. The moment he steps on the court he's playing hard.
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 tried to get back into it and play some good defense. Troy hit a couple of shots. We tried to fight back into it but we dug ourselves into a hole by 20 (points) and it was hard to come back from that.
We said (earlier in the week) we're playing our last five games, and we want to win. If we play the next three like we played the last two, we're going to win.
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're not in a hole yet, but we're digging ourselves into one. Every game we don't win, we get deeper in that hole.
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 were down by two but I thought we were down by three. I didn't know, I was just trying to get a shot up. When it went in I just thought we were going to overtime, then realized that we had won. It was a shocker. I was excited about it.
We were due to win a game in Cleveland. Guys really pulled together.
