Momentum can change so much in the NBA and if you keep playing things can happen for you. I think the 3-pointer lifted us in the overtime. We had the momentum and we carried it through. The game never stops. We were down and then we came back. It was a roller coaster ride. |
Obviously, it would have helped to have Andrei tonight, there's no question. Defensively, he would have helped us out tremendously. But with or without Andrei, we didn't give the effort that we needed to tonight. They looked like they wanted it, and it just didn't look like we did. |
This is a big loss. This is a winnable game ? and we start off the game kind of poorly, and we didn't get it done in the fourth quarter. |
This was a huge win and we've got to keep it going. It seems like we're winning on the road and we have to take care of our home court. |
We didn't come out to play in the beginning of the game, and we didn't come out to play after the first half. It's tough to watch from the bench, and to see your team get down, because you can't spot a good team like this 20 points. |
We made some mistakes down the stretch, but the biggest thing is we got the win. |
We were supposed to stay with our man, but luckily he (Howard) shot the ball after the shot clock. We'd rather be lucky than not, (but) that was a letdown. We made some mistakes down the stretch, but the biggest thing is we got a win. |
We're fighting for a playoff spot. Coach Sloan says that playoff basketball is crunch time. We need to run a play, execute and get a good shot. It's frustrating to fight the whole game, have a lead and then all of a sudden, we stop doing what we did to get there. |
We're still alive, we've won two in a row. You never know what happens. We could go on a good winning streak now. Maybe L.A. loses, maybe Sacramento loses, you never know. |
We've just got to go out and play our game and not worry about it being on the road. You don't look at it like a whole road trip. You look at it as we're playing New Orleans first. Let's get through that game. |
When I let it go, I knew it wasn't in. I was kind of surprised. I had a good look. I just missed it. |
You can't expect those kinds of things to happen. I was kind of stunned. |
You can't explain this team. |
