That's nonsense, and it's not fair to Coach and not fair to Jason. Jason never complained about anything. Never. He was a true professional in every sense, and he understood, like we all do, that a coach is like a parent in a lot of ways. They're on your case one minute, but at the end of the day, we're still a family no matter what.
Defensively, I guess you could say they took us out of it. They are playing much better defense than they have in the past. With a team like that, with so much offensive firepower, you cannot get behind.
He came in here and kicked our behinds tonight. I know the game meant a lot to him, and he played that way.
We took a couple steps backwards. The last couple of games we were focused in the fourth quarter and pretty much could get the job done. Tonight, we didn't do that.
Hopefully, we've gotten this one out of our system and well bounce back with a better effort on Monday night.
He played well. He got all the big shots.
I'm not even sweating that stuff. There's no need for that. I know who I am as a player and that I have a job to do for the next 32 games, whether that's in an Atlanta Hawks uniform or some other uniform.
In a close game like this, you're battling and you can't afford turnovers and allow them to score. When they were shooting free throws, we were taking jump shots. It doesn't work that way. You've got to attack the basket.
I guess they were taking it to the hole and we weren't.
The Magic just beat us. They did what they had to do to protect their home court. We've got to keep trying to win and continue to play the right way.
I'm sure he is from everything I hear, but I've got to wait until that happens.
