people realize searching stop tragic
We wouldn't stop searching for them if we thought they were still alive. It's tragic but most people would realize that we do have to be realistic.
energy played quarter sluggish stops third tired
I thought we played sluggish and tired all night. Our energy wasn't there. I can't give you the answer. In that third quarter we didn't get any stops at all.
against ahead certainly coming game games people stopped talking
We haven't stopped talking about it and that's where we are. We have games coming up with people ahead of us, Chicago, Philadelphia, Indiana, and that's certainly not overlooking tomorrow's game against Atlanta.
against decided eight front game games last people season seven spots stopped talking
We haven't ever stopped talking about it. We still have games against the people in front of us. . . . I said it before the season, during the season and I said it recently, it's all going to be decided in Game 82. Those six, seven and eight spots are going to be decided on the last day of the season.

basketball becoming collection guys hard rather rewarding stage step team

bad forward habit loss moving start step steps taking
This was a bad loss for us. We have to get out of this habit of taking two steps forward and one step back before we can start moving forward again.
boards everywhere fourth incredible
We got an incredible contribution from Bo. He was just everywhere defensively and on the boards in that fourth quarter.

We got a little dejected at that point and we fought back, but we can't allow those things to be unsettling,
