I know. I know, and that's not good at all. Sometimes it seems like we play with more fire on the road than we do at home. We have to figure it out at home and get some wins and make this a home-court advantage.

I was encouraged by the wins against Atlanta and Denver. And even when we lost against Phoenix, I thought that we played as well as we could. (Against New York), for some reason we weren't focused like we need to. We're in the playoff hunt for our lives right now. We have to bring out hard hats Wednesday against a good Sacramento team. We've got to play (well) or we could be out of this.

adjust against body combat extra hard past people position rip saw surrounded
I never really got into a position to do anything. They always had an extra body around if I ever did get past Rip (Hamilton), which was hard to do in itself. They just surrounded me and I was never in a position to do anything. We've got to make adjustments to combat what they did against me because I saw (two or three) people every time. So we have to adjust that.
