Everybody out there is playing hard and playing like a game. When you do that, sometimes you can get hurt.
Everybody's playing together. When we play together, everybody gets shots -- everybody. And we're knocking them down and feeling comfortable. We've just got to keep playing like we've been playing. It's exciting and fun to watch.
Everybody's happy, we're passing the ball to each other and there are a lot of good vibes right now. It's sad because we could have done this at the beginning of the season.
That's Coach Sloan; he'll tell you what he thinks.
You can look at it on film, but I'm not going to speak on it. We played hard. We played real hard.
We got a couple of wins going. We're playing good, passing the ball. If we keep playing like that we'll be on a good roll.
We weren't taking care of the ball. When we don't take care of the ball, we make it hard for ourselves.
We're going through a tough stretch right now, but our heads are still up. We're missing Steve and Grant (Hill), but there are no excuses. We just have to go and play.
You get into a city at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning off a back-to-back, you don't want to have put all of that stuff on. I just think it's a little too excessive.
It's tough losing Steve. Steve's a good guy.
They're a good team. They've been playing with each other a long time and winning championships. And in the third quarter, you could see it out there.
It was a tough loss. We came out and tried to play hard and gave it up in the fourth quarter. They did a good job of stopping our last couple of plays. It was back and forth, but they ... played all the way through.
Sometimes you've got to switch up the starting lineup to get a spark, just to get a win.
Our confidence level is up. If we keep playing like this, we'll be on a good roll.
