That's probably the thing that bothers me the most, where we were and where we were going, and then that happens. Everything happens for a reason ... I think Jalen [Rose] and Jamal [Crawford] are trying to do their best. |
That's tough. But that's no excuse. We have to play games just like everyone else. |
The biggest part is that the way we're approaching the game is totally different. We feel like we know we're going to win and we're not going into games feeling like we're not going to give ourselves a chance. I think before, we were just trying to stay in games and we weren't as competitive down the stretch. We kind of gave up. Now we're a very resilient group. |
The guy's phenomenal. It's not like anyone didn't know he could do it. |
The money you donate is nothing, |
The pain wasn't as bad as [Friday night against Orlando]. It's hard to allow your body to heal when you're using it. My mother wants me to sit down. When she found out it takes three weeks to heal, I tried to trick her, but you can't trick [mothers]. They know their kids. |
The timing was off. I was trying to run the play Coach wanted us to run, and it just didn't work out ... It's part of the game. It could go the other way for us, and eventually, one day it will. |
The way I feel, in order to love, you've got to leave yourself completely vulnerable. I don't judge anyone because I'm always being judged, so I allow the book to be open. |
The way our luck has been going, I'm not surprised. If this had been during the six-game winning streak (in January), when it was really fun, I would probably say, 'Nah, it wouldn't go in.' But everybody gets their day. It just wasn't our day. |
The way we approach the game is totally different. We have a lot of confidence. We feel like we know we're going to win. Before, we were just trying to stay in games. We weren't as competitive down the stretch. We kinda gave up. Now, we're very resilient. |
There is nothing good about it. We have to get better. |
There's no excuse for guys not having energy at the beginning of the game. |
They know how to play and they play with a great deal of confidence. Whenever you onto the basketball court with that kind of confidence, you never feel like you're going to lose. |
Things happen. Coach was frustrated with the way were playing, especially the way the game was being called from his point of view. Things like that happen. |
This will definitely help. He plays with toughness and he knows how to play. |
