There ain't nothing to worry about, because you're going to win some and you're going to lose some. |
There's something going on there. |
They bring me a lot of energy. |
They come to play every night. That's all you have to do in this league to be successful. |
They just wanted it more than us. |
They were able to penetrate and get to the basket early. But in the fourth, we got stops. We were able to make them go to their second and third options and shoot over us. We knew if we could get the stops, we could take control of the game. |
They were aggressive. They wanted it more than we wanted it. We've got to a better job on penetration. On pick-and-rolls, when they play a lineup like that, we can't allow them to break down the defense and get offensive rebounds. |
They were relaxed and ready to play. We came out a little jumpy. |
They're a struggling team right now, trying to find their identity. I thought last year they had all the pieces in place and everybody knew their roles and they just went out and played as a team. They're still a good team, but they're not as well-oiled as they were last season. |
This game doesn't mean a whole lot. The playoffs are a whole different game. I know that's a broken record but that's what it is. |
This is one of those situations where if you don't react the way you react, there's no telling what might have happened. Years from now you'll still be kicking yourself in the butt because you didn't react. |
Um, Larry likes to coach. |
We are a veteran team that knows what it takes to go out there and execute. We know that sometimes it goes, and sometimes it does not. There is no need to get excited about any one situation. We know we have to go out and play the game. |
We came out and moved the ball around, forced them to go to their second and third option - not allow them to walk down and catch the ball where they want to catch it at. |
We don't care about the numbers. We just want to add them up at the end of the season and come up with home-court advantage. |
