fought hurt maintain stay striking struggled within zone
We fought hard. Their zone hurt us early, and we struggled a little bit, but we were still able to maintain and stay within striking distance.
exhausted figure fought ourselves struggled trying
We fought back and exhausted ourselves trying to get back in the game. We've got to figure out how to play back-to-back (games). We've struggled with that all year.
coming effort fought four instead last mark minute minutes nine pleased quarter second six three
I'm pretty pleased with our effort and the way we fought back in the second half. After the nine minute mark (of the third), we kind of went haywire that last three or four minutes of the quarter and instead of coming out of the quarter down by six or seven, we were down by 10.
calls driving guys hands
To me, that's it in a nutshell. He doesn't get any calls . When he's driving to the basket, guys have their hands all over him, and there's nothing called. It doesn't make sense.
great learn locker team
We just have to learn from this, because that's a great team over in that locker room.
game second trim
We had 22 turnovers in our first game and 17 in our second and we have to trim that back to 15 or 13,
games
We were in games like this all year. We never quit.
came fourth quarters responsibility third
We were embarrassed in the first half. I've got to take responsibility for our play in the first half. It was awful, unacceptable. We came back in the third and fourth quarters and competed.
coming fell figure guys joe johnson legitimate seven tank third williams
We were down seven coming back after the half, and Marvin Williams and Joe Johnson hadn't sniffed a lick. You figure if you got those two guys going we've got a legitimate shot, but we just fell in the tank in the third quarter.
chris eventually guard minutes numbers played plays point therefore totally
You can't compare. Because Chris is a point guard and Marvin is a 3, sometimes he plays 4. They're totally different games. Chris has played a lot more minutes than Marvin has played, so therefore his numbers are a lot better than what Marvin's are. Eventually Marvin's numbers will go the other way.
fun sitting tv watching
This thing of sitting here watching it on TV is not fun for me.
few guys harder hate last mostly next work year
There are a lot of guys who are probably going to hate me in the next few weeks, ... Mostly because we're going to work harder than these guys ever have. We're going to work 10 times harder than we did last year because we know we have that much more work to do.
complaints complaints-and-complaining game hard played playing
I don't have any complaints with our crew. They are playing hard and we have been in every game we've played this year.
agree either risk
I don't agree that it's a risk either way,
