The thing we wanted to do is jump on them quick. When a team is not having a good year, when you jump on them early and hit them first it's hard for them to get back up. |
The turnovers cause you to lose control of the game. It was frustrating. We were turning the ball over and giving them the ball back without making them work for it. |
There's no use talking about it anymore. |
There's nothing on the court he hasn't seen. He's got an answer for everything. |
They do play off me and challenge me to take that 15- to 17-foot jumper and make it. Once I make a couple, they will have to do something different. |

We are just not able to finish games right now. We are not playing the way we should down the stretch. It might be a confidence thing. |
We are trying hard to bounce out of this funk. That's the only way we are going to do it. We have to win one or two games, loosen up, and play with confidence. |
We believe in ourselves. We believe that winning the third game changes the whole thing. We're so anxious to win that first game, and everybody keeps reminding you of the record that it's hard to get rid of. But I don't think it's much of what (Dallas) did. It's more about what we didn't do well enough to hang in there and have a chance to win. |
