We just couldn't keep them in front of us. We couldn't keep them from penetrating to the basket. They got about everything they wanted tonight. They were playing in such a comfort zone that we couldn't even begin to shut them down. |
We just got annihilated. We had one quarter in which we executed and that was the second quarter. When we don't execute our offense, we don't get anything. We were just running around out there. |
We kind of fought back a little in the second half. We got to within six or seven points and then they just annihilated us. Our big guys just looked like they were running in mud. |
We made some mistakes, but we also had some situations where I think we could've hung in there a little better if we'd had a couple of things go our way. I'm not going to take anything away from them because they're a great team, but it's frustrating. |
We only had about three or four possessions where we got up and played people. That was the only life we had. Somewhere along the line we need to defend people so we can compete. |
We played a lot harder. That's the main thing. That was interesting that we did that. |
We started to play a little bit at the end of the ballgame, but it was a little bit too late. |
We were in the ball game. I thought our guys played pretty hard. We got waxed pretty hard last night (a 110-85 lost to Cleveland), but I thought our guys played pretty hard tonight, but that's the way it goes. |
We were so confused at the start of the ball game, and made some terrible mistakes defensively and couldn't get into our offense. We decided to play a soft game early and we had a difficult time. |
We were totally intimidated by the guy to start with because he had such free roam. We never got a hand in his face. He's a terrific player. |
We're feeling a little bit sorry for ourselves, |
We're still alive and that's the important thing. |
We're still in the playoff picture. I know we don't play like it sometimes because we give away easy baskets, but we are still right there. |
We've always had a rule in the last second or so: get next to your man. We weren't even close to the guy. |
We've got to do a better job finishing the ballgame. We don't want to leave anybody open on a 3-point shot. |
