It was another great crowd, and I'm sorry we disappointed them again. We're so much better than we showed the two games here. |
It'll be my first opportunity to play in New Orleans. I'm excited to get there and show the fans of New Orleans that we still play for them. Plus it's a huge game for us; the Lakers are fighting for a playoff spot, so we need to pick it up and sneak out with a win. |
It's a great time just to get away for a little while and give my shoulder and my ribs time to heal. |
It's all right. I've tried to get used to it and not think about it. It hurts a little bit - but not too much once the Adrenalin gets going. |
It's been unbelievable. To see how great we were playing and see how we've now sort of bottomed out. We've got to find some energy from somewhere to pick it up. |
Oh, my goodness, it was unreal. When he had 62, my mom called. |
Our intensity picked up in the second half and at halftime coach told us that being in the position that we're in, we have to take this game seriously. I thought we buckled down defensively in the second half. We talked more. We got deflections. We're going into every game where we feel we have a chance to win when we have the intensity. |
That three was created by Speedy. I thought he was going to shoot it in the lane, but he kicked it out and the shot clock was rolling down. I had to put it up there. |
The competition is low and the educational value is high. It's pretty heartwarming to see that many youth on the ground all learning and having fun. |
The least we could do is go out and play as hard as we can. We feel like we owe a lot to this city and the state of Oklahoma for accepting us. |
The third quarter did us in once again. We gave up 33 points in the third, and we couldn't get a rebound late in the game. Seventy-nine games into the season, we should have learned to adjust by now. It's a tough loss, but we have to keep playing hard because you don't what is going to happen. |
They beat us from start to finish. They came out aggressive and we were back on our heels. |
They compare us so much. You hear an analyst saying I'm better than him, and another saying he's better than me. You take that in because that's my competitive nature. |
They know if they want the ball from me, be nice. |
This is huge for our confidence. We're in a tough situation right now where we are trying to fight for the eighth spot in the playoffs. We knew we had Detroit coming up so we really needed this one. |
