At the end of the day, we're all going to be judged by wins and losses and since they're not a first-place team, he's going to take a lot of criticism but I think he's made some good moves.
We've got to learn to communicate better on offense and play better on defense. That's what winning teams do.
When you look up at the schedule, all you look at is the win total. When you really break it down, you're going to say two of their seven wins are against the Hawks.
Winning is the cure all. Sometimes when you're losing things aren't as bad as they seem. Sometimes when you're winning things are not as good. It's only one game but hopefully it's something we can build on.
It's frustrating to lose the ballgame, especially when we're giving a valiant effort, ... It's doubly frustrating because of the way I've been playing. The guys are doing what they can to help us win ballgames, and they need me to step up and play the way I'm capable of playing.
It's ... a situation that's more geared to wanting to win and be a playoff team. The sooner the better.
When you're not winning games ... it's about how you're not getting it done. To the winner goes the spoils, and since we're not getting it done at a high level, it's always going to be about sideshows and distractions.
A lot of guys contributed. Jamal made a huge shot at the end of the game. We didn't get down. A lot of times when things don't go your way and you only have 19 wins or so on the season, you tend to get discouraged.
A lot of times when you're down and you have an overall record like we have, it's easy to look up at the score and say 'here we go again. We pulled together, we persevered, and obviously were not going to take is as more than one game, but it does feel good to get a win on the road.
You're a win streak away from striking distance.
When you're not winning it's about how you're not getting it done.
In the second quarter we just could not score. We had nine points in the second quarter, and obviously in the NBA, you can't win with that.
The guys are doing what they can to help us win ball games and they need me to step up and play the way I'm capable of playing.
We got some good looks at some shots, but they just didn't go down. Had they, we would have put some pressure on their team.
