You've got players that can really put the ball in the basket and they went on a run on us. You think the game is pretty much over with, but in the NBA teams can go on runs. I don't know how it happened.
I just want to make sure my mom is safe,
It's just dirty basketball. It's plain, outright, dirty basketball.
I thought we didn't create rhythm offensively. And we played really tough defense on the strong side all night long, but you can't beat this team playing that way. Just playing strong defense on that side.
I thought as the game went on we wore down a little bit. I don't want to blame anything, they just beat us down the stretch. In the fourth quarter is where the game is won or lost.
Everything's blurry on the right side. The light getting in it aggravates it.
They still have some strings on you. You can't get hurt. Some guys have gotten hurt before they signed the big contract. I'm out here making sure, very gingerly, that I don't get hurt.
I just tried to keep pressure on him offensively, because if he's not working on one end of the floor, he can use more energy offensively. So I just tried to keep him moving.
It seemed as though it bounced the right number of times to where they really couldn't get a shot off.
The guys that we have potentially may or may not be here next year. Organizationally, if our chances are slim to make the playoffs, we have to focus on who is going to be here in the future. It seems like a logical move. Our young guys have been playing well. It does get frustrating when you feel like you have to play for next season.
He is going through a phase now where he's learning or he has to learn what it's like to deal with pain. And to be able to play through it and go out and still be good with that pain, because at some point we've all had to face it.
I'll give it to him. He had a heck of a night making shots with a hand in his face.
I won't wear a watch all summer. It's nice not to have to worry about time.
Whose team is this? It's everybody's team. The guys that make this team are the guys that work. I might have a bigger responsibility, but in that responsibility it's my job to serve as much as I'm needed.
