We feel is it is our legal and ethical obligation to close the road as soon as possible. |
We fully expect to try to make the playoffs. We're five games out of the loss column and we're in first place in our division. These are the kind of games we have to get. |
We gave up 39 free throws, guys. |
We got back in it again late and actually had a chance to get it. I think, if anything, the game shows how much we miss Luke, especially the way we're playing now. He's just playing great and we really miss him. |
We got off to a good start. We got control of it. We're still playing to create a foundation. These games are important to us. |
We got off to such a great start and I was scared to death of that. Because when you score that easy, you're not going to score that easy the whole game. |
We got shots contested, but we just got manhandled, I think, for the first time. |
We had planned to go without him, then Luke's out there shooting. I said, 'What are you doing?' He said, 'I told you I was playing.' He just hates sitting. |
We have a problem playing in the third quarter and that showed tonight. We just fall behind and have to find a way to fight back into it. If I knew why we were a bad third-quarter team, I would make those changes. It's a mystery to me. |
We have no depth to play him, so we're just going to try to give him different looks. He's just so big, there are only certain things you can do. |
We haven't had a power forward here since (Shawn) Kemp who can run and jump and play above the rim like he does. |
We just couldn't make a shot. Ray couldn't make a shot. Luke couldn't make a shot. ... We couldn't sink our teeth into the game. |
We just weren't there, sorry, we just weren't there. It's huge to have a training camp. But they were just better than us tonight. They were a step ahead of us, stayed a step ahead of us. We just didn't get in the game. Nothing worked. We just got our butts kicked. |
We just weren't there. This team has been through a lot, but we've had some pretty significant wins in the last 12 games. |
We kept scoring and then Ray got hot. That's a terrific win. They're awfully good. |
