attack driving guys offensive points positive scoring though
Our positive was Rashad scoring 18 points but on the other end you have guys driving by you going to the basket. I thought though his offensive attack and feel was good.
ball contain guys
Our perimeter guys did not contain the ball at all.
quarter second tall
Our second quarter killed us. If we get anything at all in the second quarter, we're in tall cotton.
developing rhythm trend year
Our trend the whole year has been developing a rhythm in the first quarter. Then once (Kevin Garnett) comes out we kind of get off kilter.
lost quicker
I thought we lost a lot of juice. I thought they were quicker than us tonight.
close games group point regain took turning
I thought that was a turning point in our season, (Wells') shot, that group of close games we had. I think it took a little starch out of us, and we were never able to regain (momentum).
against anybody kevin night playing seattle step third
I think a lot of it is we've got to get another third guy. Luckily, the other night against Seattle we had a third scorer (Eddie Griffin, 24 points). Right now, Kevin and Wally are playing at an all-star level, and we just need another person to step up. I'm not discriminating who it is; anybody can step up and get their minutes.
belief broke spirit together
I think all those together broke our spirit and our belief in each other.
happened lose ways
It happened so quick. We come up with different ways to lose it.
ben best burst changing coming gauge gets gordon league second speed square
I think they're probably two of the best and quickest in the league coming off screens, changing speeds. They'll come off; they'll hesitate. Where Ben Gordon gets you is that second burst of the speed. We just didn't gauge their speed and square our shoulders.
couple guarded hit huge jason shots
Jason hit some huge shots. I don't know who could have guarded him on a couple of those shots he made.
national saw team
I saw he got into some scraps with the national team and I like that, as long as you use it in the right way.
basketball best shot somebody
I think he's making his best basketball play. I don't think he's being too unselfish. If somebody has a better shot than you, you've got to make the play.
block clean counted fight glad guys met people pulled stretch tonight
I thought it was a clean block at the end. It was a big win, a lot of people counted us for dead. I was glad to see our guys fight back, they met the challenge. Tonight the guys pulled together, responded and executed down the stretch on the fly.
