felt missed
I felt like we should have stole that game. We were right there. I see it more as a missed opportunity.
felt plays
I felt like we had our chances, but just made too many mistakes. We weren't able to get it done and they made plays down the stretch.
knew
I don't know what to tell you guys. You're on your own on this one, because we all knew it was a big game. There's no excuse.
coming guys knew looking
I don't know what to say. Coming in, we all knew this was a big game. There's no excuse. If you guys are looking for a reason, I don't know what to tell you.
defensive except explain ready team
I don't know what they shot, but we're a defensive team and should have had it on that end tonight. I really don't know how to explain it, except to say we weren't ready on that end.
compete gone guard hopefully sets
We've gone over all their stuff, and hopefully we'll be able to guard their sets a lot better. But we just need to compete a lot harder.
great level raised
He's been unbelievable. He's been great all season, but he especially has raised his level of play down the stretch.
basically paint whatever
He was able to get in the paint and basically do whatever he wanted.
carried shots throughout
He carried us throughout the game, making big shots and big plays.
ahead care fate team
We got an opportunity. We've just got to take care of business. If we do that, we've got a shot. We kind of have fate in our own hands, because we play the team ahead of us twice.
dominant foul players
To get Shaq in foul trouble, it's big. He's one of the most dominant players to ever play.
great plays
We showed that we could make plays on them. But they made a great play at the end.
good shots
We feel like we got good looks. I thought all my shots were going in. When they don't, you get frustrated. We've just got to find a way.
handled stretch
We had a stretch there where we got it close, and there were big-time possessions where we could have handled it a little better.
