They got a lot of good production from their bench and we didn't have an answer for them.
At the end of the day, what brought me back here was my players, the guys I've played with. That meant more to me than anything.
It's those small little plays and we can't get over the hump. That's been typical of how things are going. It gets frustrating because it seems we've been hit with a 'bad luck' stick.
There's nothing shooting wise that I focus on. I just try to take what I'm given. As many threes as I've taken, I don't think there's a three I've taken that I didn't think I could make.
I think you have to be very observant and be able to pay attention to the letters. You have to be quick because those letters come up and go fast.
Jason Kidd throws funky passes all the time. He has a lot of assists, but he also has a lot of turnovers. You've got to take some chances.
It was a very weird feeling, I'm not going to lie to you. My emotions were torn a little bit.
The way we played in the last game (a 99-74 loss to Memphis on Wednesday), it was just a difference in attitude. We started the first half tonight with that same muddy approach. We were lethargic and really didn't have any enthusiasm and we got chewed out at the half.
They (Rockets) jumped us pretty good and we didn't adjust to what they were doing. Offensively, we didn't have anything going the entire game.
I just had to get a shot off. Eddie Jones is a great defender. It went in our favor because it took a lot of seconds off the clock.
They jumped out on us and we really didn't adjust to anything. Offensively, we didn't have anything going and that seemed to feed them offensively.
I wanted someone to say something to knock me off my feet. And I was very disappointed. This organization, I knew what it was all about.
Our track record hasn't been good. We've lost so many close games in this building this season. We're learning some things about ourselves.
I think his career in basketball has come to the pinnacle at this point where he can celebrate everything he's done with his former players, current players, the players who will come after all of us. This is a testimony to how great of a coach he is, but as a person first and foremost just by the simple fact that he has this much support from everybody he's been around and everyone who's been under his tutelage.
