bad everybody figure themselves
Everybody in that (locker room) is going to have to look at themselves and try to figure out what's going on. Because this wasn't just being down, this was about as bad as it gets.
certain change everybody expect feelings goes quality season
He's such a quality individual. I never expect him to come out and not play hard. He's just got to find a way to get through this. Everybody has feelings at certain times, but those feelings can change as the season goes on.
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.
ahead bottom catch control open win
It's still in our control. We're ahead of them. If we win games, they can't catch us. That's the bottom line. If we don't win games, then we open it up for them to get back in it.
consistent last league saw team year
It's not going to be the same team we saw in there last time. Other than Detroit, they were the most consistent team in the league this year on a game-by-game basis. That's how they got to where they are.
bad ball defend
The ball bounced in and we didn't defend the play very well. He had a wide-open look and when you have wide-open looks, bad things happen. That's the way it goes.
came carried felt guys huge mike second
It was huge for us going into halftime. Mike just carried us in the first half, then other guys came through in the second half. I don't know how (the Nets) felt about it, but it was huge for us.
anybody complain four
I'm not going to complain about this. We've got four more to go. If we keep winning, there's nothing anybody else can do about it.
against played
I have nothing against the way we played (Thursday).
criteria league move office
I had no idea this was going to happen. But the criteria is set by the league office, and so that's the way it is. We have to move on.
I like what we're doing right now, how things are going.
bench five four games great guys needed nights people stayed tough win
It was a great win for us. We've been struggling. Four games in five nights is tough and our guys stayed with it and got the win. We didn't have some of our people on the bench and we really needed those guys to be consistent.
answers games
It's disappointing. It's just one of those games where we really didn't have any answers for them.
ok
It tightened up on him. Hopefully, he'll be OK by Friday.
