We got the lead in the fourth quarter, but our quick shots got them back in the game. If we would have had the patience to move the ball a little bit more, we probably could have extended the lead. |
We held them off and made shots. We did a lot of good things. |
We let a couple get away (this month) that were important. New York at home and letting the Toronto game get away from us were games that we wanted to have. But winning at Boston was a big win for us. It was important to have a good road trip and then come home and play well. |
We need everybody. We can't rely on Michael to always have 25 or 30 points. Whether it's Bobby or Mo or T.J. (Ford), or we get Toni back, or our big guys inside, it can't come from one guy. |
We need everybody. We can't rely on Michael to always have 25, 30 points, and we've done that all year. It can't come from one guy, it has to be contributions from everybody. |
We need March to be a good month for us. Between home games and everything else, we need March to be a good month. We were one game under .500 for February and around that in January, so we need to come on strong in March and see what happens in April. But this is the time that we should be able to separate a little bit. |
We need to have the same focus and intensity. Every game's a new game. We're prepared to try and do the same thing. |
We start out well and had good energy. But they wore us down. |
We thought he'd fit in with us as a third point guard , as a good defender, and he'd become a good scorer over in Europe. What he's done for us recently has been a good story. He's sitting over in Spain wanting to be where he is today, and he's gotten an opportunity and is taking advantage of it. |
We tightened it up defensively in the fourth quarter. I'd like for us to be more consistent with our defense over 48 minutes. It's something that over the last three or four weeks that we've honed in on. |
We wanted to get a second opinion and have it looked at, and he'll get treatment back in Milwaukee. We knew he wasn't going to play on this trip. |
We wanted to take advantage of both those guys inside, they finished around the basket. They did a nice job of fighting when they were open. |
We win those games and we gain confidence going into the playoffs. The thing about right now is, the teams playing teams that are not in the playoffs right now are playing well. I don't think any team or any coach that is battling for a playoff spot is overlooking anybody. |
We'll see how it plays out. We're going to go to Toronto and we need to focus on them. You don't know at the time. A lot of times you look back over the season and you say, 'That was a big win. That really got us going.' I don't know if you can say that when you're in the moment. |
We're coming back to the Bradley Center, and the Bradley Center has been a great building in the playoffs. They call it home-court advantage for a reason so we've got to go home and take advantage of it. |
