We're entitled to have bad games. You just can't play like we did in the first half. It all started when they went on an (11-0) run when we were up 19-16. It's something you learn from.
We did not want to get blown out against a team in the Eastern Conference.
We're losing ball games, as simple as that. We're still (fourth) in the Eastern Conference. We can't get down on ourselves.
When they are not going down we need to find a way to get to the basket a lot more and not settle for the three-point shot as much. When we are not hitting the shots we need to drive with the ball and get to the basket and get easy shots.
When you're on fire like that, you just keep shooting them. We had great spacing on the floor.
We beat them with our full team before, and they beat us twice. It doesn't make any difference. If we face them in the first round of the playoffs, we'll be ready for them. The playoffs start next Saturday or Sunday. I'll be ready.
We want to be an elite team and we have to learn how. The feeling I had last year at this time is totally different. It is a whole different environment this year. He (Brown) knows what I want from the team and I know what he wants.
They've got a lot more firepower than us. We played as well as we could. We gave great effort. That's all we can ask for.
They've given us trouble, no doubt about it. This is the team that's given us the most trouble thus far.
They took advantage of us and things didn't go right for us. We won on their court, we won on our court so now it is going to come down to the wire.
They scored some easy buckets and got up big early. We wasted a lot of energy trying to catch up.
They made their run. We just wanted to put them away.
They had a chance to put their foot on our neck and that's what they did. They're a well-coached team and they did a great job.
They're like those things guys used in high school. I hope it's the last we see of them.
