We just hung in there. We kept fighting, kept trying to move the basketball and kept trying to find something. |
We just lost a lot of close games. And that's part of having a young team -- learning how to win close games. People say, 'How do you feel about that?' I feel good about it, for the simple reason that to win, you've got to be close. |
We just want to go out and just play hard and play with some confidence and make some shots, and that's been a lot of our problem, |
We know we're going to get a draft pick, but who and where that pick is going to be, we don't know. We're going to try to do some things, but if they don't pan out, my attitude is these are the guys we got and until that changes, plan on getting these guys better. |
We made up our minds, we're going to go out and play as hard as we can every night and see what happens. |
We need bodies at this stage. |
We need him to play hard, work hard. Like all big guys, it takes time to develop. |
We played hard. One of our better players got hurt. There's nothing else I can say. I couldn't ask any more of my guys to battle the way they did. There's nothing else to say. |
We played probably against the best team in the NBA. It's just tough when that team, as good as they are inside, is making threes. |
We reach for it, and (the Grizzlies) go on the floor for it. ... You have to get on the floor and do the dirty work, and they did it. They beat us on the offensive glass, and every time there was a loose ball, they came up with it. |
We shot the ball well. |
We showed some toughness ... that was a pleasure to see. |
We talked about it this morning, before the game and at halftime that you have to take care of their fast-break baskets. When our guys get in the half court, they have to turn and look for the ball. I guess the altitude kept us from thinking. |
We talked about transition defense before the game. If we would have turned our head we could have been hit a few times. It just has to improve. |
We understood against this team, we had to rebound. We remember last year, they beat us by 24 or 25 on the boards. |
