The message is, we had a nice run, now let's start it again. |
The only question I have is whether I'd like more of a contrast ... That's nothing personal against Bernard. Bernard is a great athlete who plays defense. But we need a contrast, too. |
The only thing that never wavered was his teammates and the coaching staff, |
The opportunity was there. Offensively we were lethargic. |
The problem was that the group that was getting the stops wasn't very good offensively. |
The reality is the teams we are playing are better basketball teams than we are. I do think with all our components, we'd be a pretty good basketball team. I have no reservations about that. |
The reality is this is who we are. We don't match up well with any of the teams we are playing. |
The voting was skewed. No way Raymond shouldn't have been on that team. |
The way we are, we just can't match up with the athletic big guys like Howard. I don't care how much you fight, those guys are just too athletic. Those are the guys we have had problems with. |
There's been some thought that this could be the last game. |
There's only so much he can do after being out three games. Fatigue makes cowards out of all of us. |
They (Detroit) just have so many weapons that somewhere somebody's going to make a play. They just keep you coming from behind all game. |
They beat us where the men play: down on the boards. They kicked our butts where the men play. They wanted the ball more than we did. |
They contested our shots, that's what they do. Some of their shots we contested and they made them. Those guys made some tough shots. |
They don't lay down. It's not an embarrassment to play against Detroit. They're a very good basketball team. |
