Honestly, we know that we're fighting for a playoff position. I just don't want to settle for the eighth spot. If we play these games out and win most of them, we can get up to the seventh, or maybe even the sixth spot.
We're going to need team efforts, we're going to need each other down the stretch. With 29 games to go, we've got to win more than half of those to give us a better seed in the playoffs. We don't want to settle for the eighth spot. We want to try and get as high as we can.
It's big for us because we know the other teams are right around us for the playoffs. (But) we are not approaching games like that. We are just trying to win the game. We don't feel like we need to settle for the eighth or seventh seed, we feel like we can get as high as we want to.
John is going to feel bad because of the situation. Probably he will react to something not that serious because of the situation.
I talked to him before the game, and I asked him why in some games he is not aggressive, and some games he is. He gave me an excuse, and I didn't buy it. Andre is not selfish at all, but he has to be selfish in that sense, to try and get shots up, because we need him to.
I think it sends a bad message when we lose these pre-season games.
I though I got a pretty good look. He had a hand in my face (Andre Miller) but I got a great look.
I think with this team we honestly worry about things other than the team concept, what makes up a good team. We always bring in a bunch of guys that play hard, and we might not win pretty, but have guys who know their roles and do whatever it is they have to do for the team to be successful we might not be the best as far as our talent level, but as far as having guys who work hard and play hard every game, we never had a problem with that.
I think the biggest part of this was the fact that we were coming into an arena where the guys were 0-7,
To fight like we fought the majority of the game and then for that to happen to us with 4.9 seconds on the clock is just devastating.
His opinion is his opinion - and it's just that. I don't have anything negative to say about him, and I don't have anything negative to say about the situation.
I don't remember him being in the game.
I don't want them to take my money, either. That's just like taking it and burning it.
I don't want to be any problem to him, ... I just want to be somebody that, when he has a problem, he can come talk to me about it.
