It was a little stiff, but it started to loosen up as the game went on. It just didn't feel right (not to play). I didn't want anybody to think I was giving up on my team, the fact that we were losing a lot of games. |
It was a total team effort tonight, especially the bench. They gave us the energy in the second half. We need consistently guys like that to come in, when the starters aren't rolling or me and Ray aren't rolling, and give us a little bit of help and keep us in the game. |
It'll be different for people watching the game and for us a little bit. After Monday's game everything will go back to normal. |
It's a little bit sore. It's going to be that way when I play. It's something I have to get through. |
It's an honor to get the invitation, but I don't want to go through a training camp and get cut. I think that would really hurt my feelings. |
It's definitely frustrating. We feel like we could've gotten to the Finals. We could've moved on. |
It's disappointing to start this road trip this way, especially to a team we thought we could beat. We only have four games on this trip and I thought we gave this one away. |
It's little things that we're just not doing right. We're getting better in practice. We're in better shape, that's for sure. But in these games, all the progress we're making, it's not showing up. |
It's very frustrating after tonight's loss because it seemed like we gave this game away, |
Nate did a lot of talking, but it was just talk. Coach Weiss gets right to the point, tells us what he wants us to do, then we go out there and do it. |
Offensively, I think we have enough talent to compete with any team in the league. But we have to step up our game defensively and stop teams. We haven't been getting stops when we need them in the fourth quarters. And that's why teams have been coming back on us. But I still think this team is capable of doing something special. |
Pretty much from the beginning of the season until now, guys were unhappy. They wanted to get traded, they didn't want to be in this situation and they wanted to be out of here. I thought it was more of a domino effect for the whole team; that's why we're having the type of season we're having. |
Right now, we are not playing well. It is not looking too bright for us. When you know you are not going to make the playoffs, why play your main guys and get somebody injured when you can start focusing on next season? |
Right now, we're not healthy. We're wounded. We got to get healthy and get our guys back. |
Somebody's got to help. Slap somebody in the head, something. Man, if we can't get any stops, we can't win the game. |
