To fight like we fought the majority of the game and then for that to happen to us with 4.9 seconds on the clock is just devastating.
I think it would have been good if we could have played all pre-season games together. It will be something we'll have to deal with, something we'll have to fight through.
We have a tough week ahead of us and to get those games out of the way was important. It was easy for us to go up against a team that hasn't even won 20 games. They are playing relaxed and we are fighting to get into the playoffs.
Honestly, we know that we're fighting for a playoff position. I just don't want to settle for the eighth spot. If we play these games out and win most of them, we can get up to the seventh, or maybe even the sixth spot.
I can't tell you anything that is going to make you feel like we are going to turn it around. All I can say is we are still alive and we still have a chance. And that is worth fighting for.
keep his head up, that it would all work out.
John is going to feel bad because of the situation. Probably he will react to something not that serious because of the situation.
I talked to him before the game, and I asked him why in some games he is not aggressive, and some games he is. He gave me an excuse, and I didn't buy it. Andre is not selfish at all, but he has to be selfish in that sense, to try and get shots up, because we need him to.
I think it sends a bad message when we lose these pre-season games.
We thought we had chances to get back into the game. We turned the ball over here and there, and they did what great teams do - they took advantage of it. When you are playing against a good team like (Detroit), you have to take advantage of the opportunities and you can't throw the ball away.
I had problems walking, so I knew I couldn't do any running. I couldn't do it. It's real swollen.
I feel like if they want us to dress a certain way, they should pay for our clothes. It's just tough, man, knowing that all of a sudden you have to have a dress code out of nowhere. I don't think that's going to help the image of the league at all. ... It kind of makes it fake. The whole thing is fake.
I feel good about how we're trying to get better defensively. We're nowhere near where we want to be, but I like the effort.
