All the injuries right now, yeah, it's tough. But you've got to deal with it. You have to continue to go out and play. Tonight, we just weren't knocking down shots, and that has nothing to do with injuries. |
He's a great shooter. We were there defensively a lot of the time and he still made shots. That's what great shooters do. He really got it going in the second half. |
He's going to be very good. He's the same person that I had to play the first time. He understands the game, runs the team well, knows when to take shots and when to get it to other people. He had a great game. |
He's right, our effort was horrible. (Portland) had come out the last three games and lost by 30 points on average and they come in here (Monday) and kick our butts from beginning to end. It's embarrassing. |
Honestly, I don't know what's going on right now. If I could tell you, I'd fix it. Right now, we've just got to find a way out of this. |
I think everybody had a good rhythm tonight. We wanted to continue to attack the basket. Sometimes we tend to get away from what gets us leads and not play as hard. |
I told the guys it almost felt a little uncomfortable for me to shoot that many shots. Every now and then they need something from you to get over the hump. Tonight in the first half they needed me to make shots. |
I'm a little sore and I'm moving a little slow. I could see plays, but I was a little slow. I was one step off. |
I'm still at a point where I want to play (a lot). I feel like my body has still got that. I want to be here, and I want to play. |
I've been around for a while and the guys know when it gets later in the game that I'll step up and be as aggressive as I need to be. Tonight it was just making a basket and then getting in a rhythm shooting free throws, so I wanted the ball in my hands towards the end. |
Injuries are part of the game. We need all our pieces to win, but we'll keep fighting and we can turn this thing around and get a win. |
It feels good to know it doesn't have to be a blowout for us to win. That we can come back and win by hanging tough. |
It was the end of the game. The refs, especially for the Bobcats, they are going to make you win the game. There were a whole lot of calls that should have been different but we just have to live with that. |
It was there for the taking, but they made some big shots. |
It's coming down to the end of the season and right now it's just playing for pride. Our guys still want to get better and have a good showing every night we step on the court. |
