attacks basket bryant hard jump tonight tough
Bryant is hard to guard. He makes tough shots. He attacks you going to the basket and tonight he made some tough jump shots. He is just tough to cover.
great lucky reasons saw spin top twice videotape watched works
Oh, yeah. I thought it was lucky when I saw it live, but then I watched the videotape and it bounced twice on the rim and off the top of the board. I don't know if Brent works on the kind of spin he put on that shot, but it went in, and that's one of the reasons they're a great team.
inside quarter third
Shaquille had his way inside with us, especially at the end of the third quarter and into the fourth.

Now we are going to the playoffs on a positive note and we'll see what happens tomorrow night and prepare for whoever we play.

Obviously it was a real disappointing loss. We did very poorly offensively in the second quarter and just couldn't play well as a team. They got ahead of us and we couldn't get the stops to get into the game.

Obviously it was a real disappointing loss. We did very poorly offensively and in the second quarter we just couldn't play well as a team, Washington pretty much controlled the tempo.

We're a different team than we were before. There's no reason we can't go out and compete in this series.
against effort fourth games gave ron shame somebody took wasted
I thought he was unbelievable. He did everything you could do. It's a shame we wasted the effort he gave us and then Ron took over in the fourth quarter. I don't know how much better somebody can play, two games back-to-back, especially against that team.
brad good happens mike offense team
Our offense is not going to be very good if Mike and Brad don't play very well. When that happens with the team we have (at the moment), it's hard.
anybody brad decent everybody francisco good happens high mike needed offense team
Our offense is not going to be very good if Mike and Brad don't play very well. Francisco had numbers, but our starters, I don't know if anybody had a decent game. ... We needed everybody to play well and play at a high level, and they didn't do it. When that happens with the team we have today, it's hard.

I thought out guys played hard. We missed ton of shots in the last seven minutes, open shots.
ball coming hard moved people philosophy post react
That was our philosophy. Go at him. Make him try to defend. It?s hard to post him up. We moved the ball pretty well, and we got him to react to people coming at him.
