We didn't have one of the best third quarters. Third quarters have been our Achilles' heel. In the second half, we didn't have that same flow.
The third quarter has been our Achilles heel pretty much the whole year.
It's more me than him. I have to make sure that we are ready to play. It seemed like in the third quarter we didn't want to play. I had to come out of my element and speak on it but it took me out of my focus. But that's my responsibility.
I thought the call that was before that was sort of a cheap call. I just came down and was frustrated. By no means was I trying to hit a fan. If anything, I was trying to get a delay of game. Unfortunately, that happened. I apologized to the little girl and her father.
I thought the call that was before that was sort of a cheap call.
I think there needs to be some style improvement but at the same time it has to be with in reasons.
Just being aggressive in the fourth quarter is what I'm focused on.
Whether you want to put faith in them or not, they do what they do and they do what they want to do, ... It's not my team. Glen Taylor, he and Kevin McHale try to put together a plan and I guess for whatever reason try to enforce it. But I don't think I'm the person to ask.
I'm so locked in that I was thinking we had more time. I should have fouled earlier. I'm thinking we had had him (Blake) trapped in the corner, but not thinking that he's sitting there waiting to be fouled with the clock running. It was stupid on my part.
I take a lot of pride in how I look,
We have our hand on the neck of the golden goose and we're squeezing hard.
Let me tell y'all something: Even though we've been losing and gone through some difficult times, man, we continue to keep our morale up. Our confidence has always been high.
That was so unfortunate. It could have happened to any of us. I kept telling him, 'You'll be OK. We're right there with you.
That was a good block. I mean, you all saw what you saw, but as soon as it left his hand I got it, you know. I'm sitting right here in front of you all with a win.
