We just acted like we wanted to get home. We have games like this. We've had a lot of them. You really break the film down and show the last game, just five, six minutes. You can pull out any film; they're all the same - letting (teams) take the easy basket, not getting back on defense, not keeping people in front of you. |
We just don't know how to win, don't know how to finish. |
We just had trouble stopping them from scoring. I don't even think we had a chance to put them away. |
We just want ball players. I don't get caught up in positions. I think Steve is strong enough to guard 2s and quick enough to guard 1s. |

We kind of got healthy. That was a key. Since we got healthy, we've settled on a rotation. That's been helpful. |
We lead the league in turnovers. Did you see them press on us? It's every game. We have few assists and a lot of turnovers. As much as we have trouble as we have guarding people, to give up 30 points on turnovers, it's even more difficult. |
We made some hustle plays that got us back. We played hard. The effort was there, and that was big. |
We missed some free throws that gave them a little life. We started turning the ball over. They (Indiana) got hot and we didn't have an answer. |
We moved the ball great, got a lot of open shots because we gave the ball up. Controlling the tempo on the road is the way we've got to play. |
We needed him to guard and he went back in and guarded. Like I said, when he puts his mind to it, he's an exceptional defender. |
We played pretty darn good after All-Star break. We were about .500 and we set up a culture that enabled us to be pretty good from then on. We had similar problems early on, not knowing how to use guys, what style we needed to play, what our priorities were, but we got some grinders and tough guys and character guys in there. |
We really have too many young guys right now. You look at Riley's team, he didn't have to worry about the ninth, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th guy worrying about playing. He had eight guys that he played. I don't even think he looked at the other seven. If we're going to be good, you've got to get down to a rotation similar to that and develop your young kids the right way. |
We started out good. We all talked about respecting them with Allen out. We had a seven-point lead and then we just completely wilted. We had a lot of guys that didn't bring it to tonight and they had a lot of people that brought it. |
