It's crunch time. We don't really have a choice. If we want to make the playoffs, that's what we have to do. |
It's frustrating because we feel like we got so much talent on the team. We're not putting it all to use, not playing up to our ability. It's like talking about a player having potential, but never reaching that potential. It's just sad if we don't reach our potential. |
It's getting tougher and tougher. We're fighting for our lives right now. We keep saying that we can get the third [seed]. But we could also end up ninth. |
It's getting tougher and tougher. We're fighting for our lives right now. We keep saying we can get that third spot [by catching New Jersey in the Atlantic Division] but we could easily be ninth. |
It's tough for me because you want to feel like you can play this game. If I'm in the crowd and I see somebody's not involved and not doing much, I'm going to think that guy can't play. The other team's not worrying about you. It's hard for me to function that way. |
Potential is a bad word. It's a sad thing if you don't reach it. |
Sometimes it takes just one game to boost you to the next level. If he plays like that, he's well on his way. |
Sometimes, it only takes one game to boost you to the next level. The way he played tonight, he's well on his way. |
That (not sharing the ball) has been the problem, but I think we have an understanding of what we have to do. That's how we've got to play. |
That's what killed us; it put us in a hole. |
The first time we wrote this revision, we tried to make it very simple. That wasn't well liked so we tried to be more specific. |
The second half was the total opposite of the first half. If things don't change, the same thing is going to keep happening - win a game, lose a game. |
They don?t really have nothing to lose. They?re just coming out relaxed, loose, they?re at home. If you don?t come ready to play, you can easily lose. They?re professionals, so you can?t take them lightly. |
They hit some tough shots and we just didn't defend for 48 minutes. It's been like that for a while. We just got to stay together and just don't give up. You just got to keep trying. |
They knew he had the hot hand and they played to it. That's what's so good about that team. They know how to share the ball. |
