We did a very poor job in trying to block them off of the boards. They just killed us on the offensive boards. |
We didn't have a good effort in the first half and had a really horrendous finish. I didn't know if we were going to settle down and try to play basketball or try to beat them 1-on-1. |
We didn't have much for them. It looked like we didn't belong. |
We didn't really seem to have any life. |
We didn't show a great deal of toughness. We were tired out there and we have to get into better shape. |
We fought at the beginning of the second half and then they just annihilated us. They defended us well and we had a very tough time scoring inside. If we keep playing like that, we won't get into the playoffs. |
We gave (Sacramento) everything they needed to get their game going and win the ball game. I took the timeout with four minutes left in the fourth because I felt like the guys that were in just weren't going to get the job done. |
We gave them everything they needed to get their game going and win the ballgame. They came up and put the pressure on us, and we turned the ball over a little bit, and then we got real casual. There was no execution. |
We had 23 turnovers and gave away 28 points. They went after the ball hard, and we looked like we were running in mud. |
We had a lot of things we didn't do well. There was too much ducking our heads and going one-on-one. We're not going to win that way. |
We hang or heads over missed shots just so much it is like we are grade school again. You can't let those things take you out of the game. |
We have a different team than we've had all year. Boozer changes things just being in the game. It gives everyone more freedom with him out there. |
We have a little bit of stability, more so than the beginning of the year, so we have a better idea of how to play with each other. But it has taken us a little while to figure that out. Our players have to know who we are playing against, and they have to be ready to play no matter what. |
We just couldn't do anything with them in overtime. I can understand guys missing shots, but I don't understand not being able to block them off the boards and give them second shots while we're trying to win a ballgame. They got to the free throw line and we didn't. That was the difference in the game. |
