Just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hurt.

We're trying to protect home, continue our streak. I think getting caught up in the whole rivalry thing, it can hurt us as far as not coming out and playing our best basketball.

It's always fun, it's not like it hurts my feelings or anything, that's just the way it is, ... It's just basketball at its finest. I enjoy it and take it all in stride.
best broke dear fall hold hurt life position seemed sore took trying
It's all sore right now. It seemed like that fall took forever. I've been in a position like that when I broke my wrist. I was just trying to hold on for dear life and trying not to hurt myself. That was the best I could do.
blew free harder hate hurt might miss missing opportunity throw tie worry
I play to win. I had the opportunity at the end. I blew it. I blew the opportunity. I hate that I had to miss those for us to end our streak. It's going to make me want to come out and play harder tomorrow. Missing that free throw hurt the most. If I made that, it would have been a tie game, and I might not have had to worry about that jumper.
hurt team guy
There's not a thing that any of you guys can say bad about me that would hurt my feelings... I'm not coming at you, what I'm saying is that, I'm willing to take that heat for my team, if we're playing well or if we're not playing well.

We weren't pleased with our first half last game. We felt if we played better in the first half we could win tonight. It was all about effort and energy.

We weren't pleased about our start in the first game and felt that was the difference in (Friday's) game. Tonight it was about energy and effort, and that's what we showed right from the tip.

We weren't happy with our effort. (Jefferson is) a big factor for us, but we can still really put forth a better effort.

We missed a lot of shots that we usually make. I know I missed two open jump shots.

We had that energy. We had a lead and our bench kept the lead. We didn't have to play catch-up, which is real tough to do. We had a comfortable lead and we were able to play basketball and not overdo it (or) rush.

We feel we're a good team and we always want to protect home, but we have to do it on the road as well.
against best compete hit late left mental mistakes open shots teams wide
We feel we can compete against the best teams in the league. But against the better teams, you can't have the mental mistakes late in the game, because that's when the better team will prevail. They hit some big shots and we left them wide open to hit some big shots.
experience games good helped poised
We got out really good and set the tone. Our experience in the big games helped a lot. We were a little more poised than they were, I think.
