I asked them if it wasn't too much trouble, if I wasn't being too pushy, if they could execute what we were trying to do. And if it didn't make them too angry, if they also wanted to play some defense on the other end, that would be great.

I'm not one to blow smoke at my players. They kicked our butts on the offensive boards. And it's not just because the ball came their way.

The measure of who we are is how we react to something that doesn't go our way.

You have to make shots to win basketball games and we didn't do that. You also have to get back on defense, so it was a double-whammy.

Basketball's a game of mistakes.

I can't make every decision for you. I don't have 14 timeouts. You guys got to get together and talk

I don't think we'll shoot 76 percent in a half ever again. That's crazy.
