advantage chances forever looking outside position seems
We've been in this position it seems like forever now. We're on the outside looking in. We've had our chances and just haven't been able to take advantage of it.
against aggressive definitely felt good tried
We felt like we got good looks. I think they definitely made adjustments. They tried to be a little more aggressive against our pick-and-roll game. But with all that said, we just didn't do a good enough job.
knew madison square
We know we had Madison Square Gordon, so we knew we were in the driver's seat.
month start
We know how big this month is for us. This just isn't the way to start it off.
ahead anybody indiana overlook ready tuesday
We've got Indiana (on Tuesday night) next. We have to get ready for them ? that's it. We can't overlook anybody because we know Philadelphia is right ahead of us.
basketball close playing type
We didn't come close to playing the type of basketball we need to play to win.
best chore fortunate lack obviously players talented
We probably didn't get their best shot, but I don't know if it was because of a lack of energy. They're a talented team, and obviously they have one of the best players in the league. He's a chore for anyone, and we were fortunate enough to win.

Our goal is to be the highest seed that we can. We have a lot to play for.
finish goal highest improve motivation move season seed shot
Our goal is to be the highest seed that we can. That is our motivation to move up. We have a shot to finish .500 for the season and improve our seeding. We have a lot to play for.
ability carry special
That's what makes him a special player. He has the ability to carry us if we need it.
bit good
As a team, I think we did a pretty good job. We just have to do a little bit better.
breaks foul hard picking rhythm silly team
The big thing is, it kind of breaks up our rhythm a little bit. We try to play it a little more up-tempo and then, just every time, we're picking up the silly foul or the other team is getting to the free-throw line. It makes it hard to play.
energy game heads maybe played playing second tough
Something went off in our heads -- maybe we were playing not to get embarrassed. If we started the game the way we played the second half, we're going to be tough to beat. We have to come out with more energy and focus.
offense problem
Defensively, we weren't there tonight. We couldn't get any stops. I don't know what happened, but offense wasn't our problem tonight.
