We tried to get back into it and play some good defense. Troy hit a couple of shots. We tried to fight back into it but we dug ourselves into a hole by 20 (points) and it was hard to come back from that.
Neither team played defense. A lot of guys scored points and there was a lot of foul shooting and a lot of fouling. If we could have made a couple of stops, we would have won the game.
He went through a bad couple of games, but he's got to a point where he can finally relax.
It was one of those games. Neither team played defense tonight.... It was one of those games where guys were scoring. If we would have made a couple of stops, we would have won the game.
It wasn't too much to overcome. We were right there, cut it to six. I think we just had to get a couple of more stops. I don't think we were tired or anything like that but you can't get down by 20 (points). The league is too tough to do that.
We said (earlier in the week) we're playing our last five games, and we want to win. If we play the next three like we played the last two, we're going to win.
We're not in a hole yet, but we're digging ourselves into one. Every game we don't win, we get deeper in that hole.
T-Mac is so hard to stop. You just try to find ways to slow him down, but once he gets going, it's pretty hard.
We were thin. Guys have bad games, it was kind of hard to have somebody to come in and lift the team up.
Even though we're not in the playoffs, we still have motivation to go out and play hard. Let people know we're serious, that we're not cashing it in. We still want to win games.
We were due to win a game in Cleveland. Guys really pulled together.
We were down by two but I thought we were down by three. I didn't know, I was just trying to get a shot up. When it went in I just thought we were going to overtime, then realized that we had won. It was a shocker. I was excited about it.
We want to win a lot of games. There are some tough teams coming in here and we're going to some tough places, but we can still win a lot of games.
We were penetrating and kicking the ball out. We got our 3-pointers because of good ball rotation. We have a lot of guys who can shot.
