It is not like this is the first time this has happened. We did a phenomenal job in the first half and in the third quarter we came out flat. We have to do a better job. |
It is very disappointing. Tonight was a great opportunity to win. Unfortunately it didn't happen that way. We got a big game against Milwaukee on Wednesday. They're chasing us for that fifth spot, so it will be like a playoff game. Everybody needs to step up their game, and hopefully we can do something there. |
It just shows you that after all the turmoil we've been through, we are starting to pick it up, and we're almost to the point where we were last year. It just shows a lot about the character of this team. We didn't get to the point where we are giving up or the people upstairs are trying to disassemble this team. We believe that this is a pretty good team. |
It seemed like every time I look up it was 'in and out. The only thing you can do about that is brush it off. I kind of hung my head down a little bit. I don't like my teammates to see me like that, but it's not going to affect the way I come in to next week and how I approach the end of the season. |
It shows a lot about the character of this team, as far as sticking to it and not giving up or people upstairs trying to disassemble this team. We didn't think it would take this long to do the things we thought we were capable of doing. |
It's a wonderful feeling to have the opportunity make that team. It's something not a lot of players have the opportunity to do. |
It's always good to have my family and friends come see me play. |
It's always good to play so well when you have the family and friends come out and see you play. It's always a good feeling. |
It's been this way for the last week and a half. We didn't want it to come down to the last game, but this is fun. |
It's going to be a challenge for all of us. When we played them the last time, Elton pretty much kicked our [behinds]. That can't happen again. We need for everyone to pick it up. |
It's hard to figure out how we could come out and play the way we did against Utah, and then we came out and played as bad as we did here. I mean, we haven't [been] beaten like that maybe two times this season. For it to be happening now, we've got to ask ourselves some questions. |
It's hard to say after a loss, but we made some good strides on the defensive end. We had a couple of breakdowns, but as a whole you can find some positives in our play. |
It's hard, but everybody goes through it with the exception of Detroit, who hasn't had any injuries. You've just got to find a way to win with the situation. It's been hard because of late we had played well together. We finally got some great chemistry. |
It's one of those things where you always want to get better, you always want to improve, ... Every season, you want to be working on something in your game and that's something, along with my defense, that I want to improve on this season. That's the approach we need to take as a team. |
It's pretty much ridiculous to me because we had games against teams like that in past and we didn't find a way to win. If you ask me, it's the opposite way around. We play well against the best teams in the league and played poorly against the average teams. We just need to get our act together. |
