I feel like I am an All-Star. You have to feel like that. But you never know how these things are going to go. It's not in your hands.
We knew he would get his shots; it's just a matter of making him take tough shots, staying in his face and rebounding his misses. I think we did as good of a job as you can do against him.
We kind of separate when teams go at us. Recently, when teams go on a run at us, we don't respond to it. We drop our heads, and it affects us in a negative way. We're all guilty of it. We splinter apart.
You hate to see something like that happen to a good person. Unfortunately, in this situation it's not about being good people in this job. In this line of work, it's about wins. And that's how we'll all be judged.
You guys make way more out of it than it necessarily is. I believe he has had a retort to (the March 26 incident). But I won't have a conversation with him about that. It just wasn't there tonight. When you compete, you don't try to force something.
When you lose it's easier to just divide. Having something to say after every game so far when you lose, I have a sense guys don't want to hear what I have to say. Something needs to be said because a team is still a team. It's easy to sit and be a team when you're winning. Character is being built in these situations and we've got to come together.
The only thing I could think of was going back to Arco Arena. I didn't want to do that,
There are a lot of things I could have done better to help this team. I take full responsibility. I feel I let Bob Weiss down as a coach. He was a guy you could trust and count on. My heart goes out to him.
We all know what our jobs are, ... That line was crossed. Now fans and players know there are repercussions.
Tonight I was just off. I can't make any excuse. I just didn't make shots.
Whose team is this? It's everybody's team. The guys that make this team are the guys that work. I might have a bigger responsibility, but in that responsibility it's my job to serve as much as I'm needed.
It's nothing I haven't known, ... It's just a couple of the parties involved came forward.
It's those small little plays and we can't get over the hump. That's been typical of how things are going. It gets frustrating because it seems we've been hit with a 'bad luck' stick.
Don't be afraid to call a T on Allen.
