That's fun to do, when you go out and play well, even if it's only for three quarters. |
There's no doubt it stinks to have so many guys injured. We have an All-Star team on the bench. |
This was probably one of our best finishes. We were just playing basketball and getting the job done. |
We all knew what Tracy was going through. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him. We support him in everything that he does. But we've got to be ready to go to work every night. |
We didn't execute the way we executed to get the lead. We just weren't very aggressive. |
We just have to go about business as usual. It's unfortunate. We've got to find a way to win despite that. It won't be easy. |
We know that our backs are against the wall. We know that we don't have time to be losing games. We have a tough schedule coming up, and it's still a long way to go, but we've just got to find the way. |
We let them storm right into the fourth quarter. Our shot selection wasn't very good (during that span). |
We really played well on the road last year. Maybe it's the hotel food or something, I don't know. Maybe we can find a way to kind of get it together. Hopefully, we can come back with some momentum. |
We were getting the ball where we needed to get it. We just weren't knocking them down. |
We're playing a lot less random, a lot more structured. We're pushing, still getting stuff in transition. But when we don't have it, we're finding Yao in the paint, going inside/outside. ... Usually we depended on someone like Tracy doing it all and making plays for us, but now we're just playing basketball and getting the job done. |
We've got a lot of work to catch up, and we don't have time to worry about this game. We'll worry about another Phoenix if we run into another Phoenix. Right now we have to worry about Philly. |
We've got to make shots. With them doubling or triple teaming, we have to make shots or make plays. I don't think the rest of us made enough. |
When I finally hit the bench, I had to fight back tears. It's frustrating. That's the bottom line. To go out there every night and lose, that's not what we want to do. Whether we're doing what it takes to do, I guess not. |
Whoever's in or whoever's out, we just keep plugging away. |
