If I had an explanation, I would give it. We just got whipped from beginning to end tonight. During the season, you will have games like this.
If I had an explanation, I'd give it. We just got whipped from beginning to end. They did everything right, and we couldn't do anything right.
If I leave Philadelphia, it's not because I want to leave. I'm still in love with the place. I want to be here.
I definitely wasn't trying to disrespect Mo in any way, or the fans, as everybody is talking about. I've been here for 10 years, and to deliberately try to disrespect the fans, I would never try to do that in any way. I'm upset it came across that way.
I can't tell you anything that is going to make you feel like we are going to turn it around. All I can say is we are still alive and we still have a chance. And that is worth fighting for.
He took advantage of his opportunities. He just got himself involved. He played a great game.
I'd rather go to the playoffs than not go, even with a losing record. Because once you get there, you never know.
I dress to make myself comfortable. I really do have a problem with it. . . it's just not right.
I feel like everybody knows what is at stake. Everybody knows the importance of every game. We had a good meeting before the game in New York and I think it helped us out because it got us focusing on what we need to do as a basketball team.
I don't think the loss will make us play any harder. If you aren't playing hard at this point, then you aren't going to be playing hard anyway.
I could have played 48 minutes. I have never had problems with my conditioning before. For a coach to say that he thinks my conditioning isn't there, that was something new for me. Because nobody never told me that, nobody questioned my conditioning or injuries or anything like that.
I'm not pointing fingers at anybody, but as a group we're not playing hard enough to win basketball games. We don't seem hungry. We don't seem like we want to make it to the playoffs.
I kind of was frustrated with myself in the sense that I was missing easy shots,
I hope they were glad I was back and I hope that I did give them some type of confidence. It's important for my confidence for me to feel wanted and be able to go out there and make something happen.
