They would have laughed if you walked in with long shorts. |
They're better at it than we are right now. |
This is us. It's not changing. Nobody else is coming into this locker room. |
Those guys fought hard, played hard. To lose like that ... |
To have it all happen in one year is interesting in my first year as a head coach. But it's nothing I haven't seen before. |
Tonight was a disappointing effort. I thought we competed the last three quarters but in the first quarter we did not compete, we participated, and that's not acceptable. |
Tonight, we had an excellent start to the game. But you have to play the game the right way. You have to execute for 48 minutes, because if you don't, you don't have the confidence and the rhythm coming down the stretch. |
Tony Parker is probably one of the fastest human beings in the world. He puts so much pressure on the defense when he is coming at you. |
Unforgivable. That was the most disappointing thing of all. I thought everybody was a culprit, whether it was the pick and rolls... We mixed up our coverage, and they exploited all of it. |
We always hold out hope. Mathematically we're still in it. Every time we walk out on the floor, we're playing for something and we're playing for improvement. |
We always want to have hope. Mathematically, we're still alive, so we're still playing for something. |
We both were without our star players. We struggled the first quarter and they struggled the fourth quarter. |
We could've benefited from it, but we made a different trade. |
We did a good job in the first half, but in the second half I thought we were a little lax. Putting together 48 minutes is our goal from here on out ... that has been the story of our whole year. |
We didn't do a good job of matching up in transition. They were playing a small lineup. We didn't recognize quickly enough, because they were coming down and not looking to run a play but looking for the three-point line. If you're not ready to get back in transition, it's going to be a long night. |
