We were looking to win four out of five on this trip and get back in the playoff hunt, and so far it's been disastrous for us.
couple finish hopefully last months season tend whether wins
We tend to finish the season well. I don't know why. Whether we have 15 wins going into the last couple of months or whether we have 25. Hopefully this will be another one of those years.

How many games are left? I don't know. It sucks. We still lose games like this and we haven't learned how to win them.

It's safe to say this will make or break our season. We need to win the vast majority of these games.
game
This was a game we should have won.

The playoffs will still be on our mind until we are mathematically eliminated. We're trying to sneak in there. We still have a lot of the season ahead of us. We'll see what happens.
lose trip
We just have to salvage this trip and play well. If we don't, we could lose by 30.

We still felt the effects of the loss in Chicago and wanted to make sure they didn't outwork us. It was nice to get a lead and maintain it through the fourth.

We can count on him every night for at least 20 points. The way he plays every night -- he plays hard, he plays hurt. He does a lot of great things for us.

If they decide that this team can't get to the playoffs, then hopefully they'll do something.

I'd be surprised. I mean, you hear your name in a lot of rumors, things like that.

He'd be great (for us). It's too quiet around here.

We got open shots at the end of the game. You want an uncontested shot, and that's what we got.

We've put ourselves in a bit of a hole the past couple of weeks. All these games are a must for us.
