Our confidence level is up. If we keep playing like this, we'll be on a good roll.
We're way more talented than our record. After the trades we made, you can see that in the long term we're going to be a good team down the line. We've got a lot of young guys who are 23, 24 and even 20 years old, and we're eventually going to be a playoff team even though we're struggling now.
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.
It's tough losing Steve. Steve's a good guy.
Everybody is happy with each other, everybody is passing the ball, there's a lot of good vibes and it shows on the court.
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.
It's hard to read A.I.. He has a lot of moves and can dribble the ball and shoot the ball from behind the (3-point) arc. But I think we did a good job tonight. He had 36, but we did a good job.
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.
We've got next year to look forward to. We've got a good ball club, and we've seen the whole demeanor of things change.
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.
So we've got to go out there and play every game like it's a playoff game and play together like we're doing. We're doing a good job.
You can see on the court that everybody's happy with each other. Everybody's passing the ball to each other. There's good vibes.
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.
Sometimes you've got to switch up the starting lineup to get a spark, just to get a win.
