They just came out with a lot more passion than we did. They outplayed us and were extremely physical. They're an amazing team and played well. |
They made plays. We didn't make plays. That's been our MO I can't fault the effort. Guys are trying to win. We just had a horrendous fourth quarter and they had a great fourth quarter. |
They respect Mr. Dolan and know he cares and wants to do everything he can to help us win. But it's up to us to coach better and the players to play better. Everybody knows how supportive he is, and I think that's a good thing. |
They said I was OK. I went to practice. I coached the game. I'm fine. It's a non-issue. |
They scored 30 points every quarter. They executed great. They made shots and we had a hard time guarding them all night. They played great, Calderon was great, he got everyone involved. We were stuck behind all night. |
They shoot 55 percent, it's going to be a tough night. |
They started out pretty darn good, but when you lose an Allan Houston, you know, your best player, it's pretty difficult to overcome that. |
They used to beat us like a drum when I was with Indiana, ... And I told our team, 'Let's just get him to uncross his legs.' And we succeeded in the last game I coached at Indiana. But I have a lot of respect for what he's done. |
They were exhausted, that was one thing. And two, I didn't want to put them in that position yet. |
They were great. I thought we played pretty good the first half. In the fourth quarter, we just went to the young kids. They were phenomenal. |
They were teasing me about winning my first game. I was happy for them. They've gone through a lot. They haven't pointed any fingers. They just kept working. |
They've (Indiana) been playing great and I know this wasn't one of their better games, but it was a quality win on the road for us. We moved the ball great and got a lot of great looks because of it. |
They've been all right. It's been hard to figure out who has to have the ball. It's certainly got to be more difficult for Steve because he hasn't been here, doesn't know a lot of the things that we're trying to do. |
This is a big step back. It was unbelievable. |
This is a process. We didn't have Steve Francis with us in practice and that's going to impact us. |
