against guess internet saw
I even got on the Internet and saw how our cheerleaders are going against their cheerleaders (in an NBA.com poll). So I guess it is a rivalry.
involved team
I don't think it matters. Of those 16 wins, this team hasn't been involved in 15 of them. It's only been one.
control happened second stagnant stopped sudden took worse
I don't know what happened in the second quarter. All of the sudden we just got stagnant and stopped doing things offensively, and then we got worse defensively while they took control of the game.
care five home looked played playing ran shot starting team together
I don't care if we're playing home or not. We just ran into a better team. Their starting five has played together for a while. They executed very well, and they shot it very well. We looked like a team that is inexperienced playing together.
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.
match
I don't even want to think about that, we need to get there (the playoffs) first. Who does match up well with them - Detroit?
ahead obviously poorly quarter second stops
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.
controlled obviously poorly quarter second washington
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.
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.
again brad good last mike needed terrific three tonight win
Mike was really terrific again tonight and Brad was good tonight. We really, really needed this win after the last three on the road.
happens night note playoffs positive prepare tomorrow whoever
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.
last work year
If I'm in my last year and things don't work out,
anticipate seems shooting
I did not anticipate them shooting threes that well. It seems like they've all got it going at once. If they're going to go 12 for 26 every game, it's going to be really tough.
