We made them take tough shots. We got the rebound and kind of got into transition, tried to get as many easy buckets and make it tough for them, and take them out of their comfort zone. |
We missed a lot of shots that we usually make. I know I missed two open jump shots. |
We play at a high level at home, and I hope we can continue to do that and carry that on the road. It seems like on the road we always dig ourselves a hole and have to fight out of it. |
We really made it too easy for them. They were really playing to protect their home court and now we just have to take our opportunity by bouncing back and evening it up on Saturday. |
We still think we can beat them. We are definitely disappointed. |
We still think we're a good team. We didn't get blown out of here (in Cleveland), for one. We're capable. We just have to step it up a little bit. |
We thought we were a pretty good team and we could go far. We were one shot away from going to the conference finals that year, but unfortunately the guy who took the shot missed it. |
We traded baskets with a team that likes to run up and down. They are a very good transition team. ... They were hitting everything. |
We want to go into the playoffs on a high, playing the style of basketball Coach expects us to play. |
We want to just roll into the playoffs playing the style of basketball that Coach expects us to play. If we can fly under the radar and get the job done, why not? |
We want to play team defense, regardless (of what Iverson does). A.I. can get his points. The priority is to win the game. |
We weren't defending the penetration at all. |
We weren't happy with our effort. (Jefferson is) a big factor for us, but we can still really put forth a better effort. |
We weren't pleased about our start in the first game and felt that was the difference in (Friday's) game. Tonight it was about energy and effort, and that's what we showed right from the tip. |
We weren't pleased with our first half last game. We felt if we played better in the first half we could win tonight. It was all about effort and energy. |
