We got tired and we started to make mistakes. And we just didn't make shots. |
We had it, we just didn't secure it. We had a possession there, all we had to do was pick the basketball up. It was a mistake of commission. They (Milwaukee) went and got it and I don't think anybody feels any worse than the guys in that locker room. |
We had some good shots. We had some point-blank shots at that time. I think what happened was on the other end, they went to Hamilton and he made some big shots. Their execution down the stretch was really, really good. |
We had two good looks in the last few seconds. You had guys who shoot the ball from the outside, and shoot it well, that took the shots. Call it the bounce of the basketball. |
We have been very cautious with our players. That is our policy. We try to look to the future. |
We have five (big men) out, they have Jermaine. |
We have to ad lib, which is basically what we've been doing. The group has done a nice job adjusting. We have to do different things with different personnel. |
We lose as a team, you win as a team. I just think there are some circumstances where we can do better. Really, my disappointment is on the boards. |
We made it hard again. We're sitting on top of the mountain again and we don't recognize it. We allow little things to take us out of it. We have to be above those things. |
We made mistakes and paid for them in the third quarter. We had our opportunities and we just didn't get to the loose balls. Guys get tired and when they do, they make mental mistakes. We just ran out of steam playing a good team on their home floor. |
We make it hard sometimes. We sit on top of the mountain and don't recognize what you need to do. |
We need a scorer. It doesn't need to be a shooter, but it's got to be a scorer. There's a lot of help out there. I'm comfortable with that. ... What we project as our needs, (the 2006 draft should be) strong at that. |
We played about a quarter and a half tonight. But we played the fourth quarter with some fight to get back into it. The shot Brand made late in the game was a big-time shot and he made it at a very critical time in the basketball game. |
We shot like 57 percent for the game. That's a different place for us. |
We still lack the maturity that when you have control of the basketball game, you can't let anybody take you out of it. We had a lead and things started to go awry. We lost our focus. |
