Don't be afraid to call a T on Allen.
They got a lot of good production from their bench and we didn't have an answer for them.
There were a lot of blatant fouls missed, but I just have to adjust to it. The touches that I am getting are sufficient. You figure six or seven free throws does wonders for me and for the team. I feel like I am going to the hole, but it's not like I'm getting the benefit of the doubt.
The way we played in the last game (a 99-74 loss to Memphis on Wednesday), it was just a difference in attitude. We started the first half tonight with that same muddy approach. We were lethargic and really didn't have any enthusiasm and we got chewed out at the half.
People decide if they want to be led, they'll be led. If they decide they don't want to be part of the system, they'll buck it.
After the first half, I thought we were in great shape. We were only down two, and we should have actually been up. We were in the game. I just think everyone was one step behind.
There's nothing shooting wise that I focus on. I just try to take what I'm given. As many threes as I've taken, I don't think there's a three I've taken that I didn't think I could make.
I wanted someone to say something to knock me off my feet. And I was very disappointed. This organization, I knew what it was all about.
Sometimes it's like I have to remind myself that that really happened. We were a good team ... Not a long time ago, but last year. It's funny how things change so fast.
I caught a couple of stingers out there. It's been a long time since I swung a bat, and it was an aluminum bat way back then.
I don't mind a guy going at me at both ends of the floor, I can respect that. But when guys start throwing elbows and when they kick you when you're down, that's dirty basketball and I don't respect guys like that.
He (Butler) turned it on and made some shots and I was just trying to stay with him. I tried to keep him away from the ball and he still made some tough shots.
You see that, there? In this league, you're always on the clock. And it's always ticking.
You monitor those things and if something needs to be said, then you say it, keep it in house and move on. For the most part, this is a veteran group and we know how to act.
