looking shot taking tried whether
We just tried to be more aggressive, especially on our pick-and-rolls. It was also about just making plays, whether it was taking my shot or looking for other people.

First I slipped and fell down. Then I got up and tried to turn the corner but he (McGrady) bodied me up and I didn't get a very good shot off.

It's time to start doing and quit talking. We've tried to discuss our issues all year, and it's time for us as a group to get the job done.

It's important for us to limit turnovers. If we take care of the ball, share the ball, usually offensively things go smoothly for us. Tonight I just tried to be aggressive and make plays.

I tried to beat him to the spot, take the charge and luckily enough, I got it. That was the only play I had.

I was just real upset with the way I played in the first half and the way things were going. I just tried to approach it like it was a new game.

We talk a lot about mental toughness and the mentality of approaching the game, and we've done a good job with it. I can't remember anybody not being ready, and we just have to keep doing it.

We weren't ready. I don't know how to describe it. It's unfortunate. Everybody coming in knows how big a game this is, so to not be ready is unacceptable.

We have to find a way to score. We felt like we got good looks. I thought my shots were going in. When they don't, it just gets frustrating.

We have to find a way to score. Offensively, we just have to tighten some things up. We felt like we got good looks.

We showed that we could make plays on them. But they made a great play at the end.

The time is now. We have to do it now, or in a week or two we could be out of it and not playing for anything. If we have any hopes of being in the playoffs, we have to turn it around.
loose
They all got loose on us in the fourth.
