We gave (Sacramento) everything they needed to get their game going and win the ball game. I took the timeout with four minutes left in the fourth because I felt like the guys that were in just weren't going to get the job done.
The way we started the game was atrocious. It looked like we wanted to play outside (on the perimeter) all night and that made it very difficult for us.
That is one of those most disappointing games that I've been involved in. And for a game with this much significance.
People think it's pretty easy, but it's pretty difficult. A year ago, this team just kept going farther and farther down. They didn't step up and try to make a change. We were 11-21, I think, a year ago and the next game didn't matter probably.
It's a matter of how he approaches the game every day. You make a mistake throwing the ball away, is that going to affect you next time? The biggest thing is how you fight back.
It looked like we didn't belong. They just waxed us. Our guys looked afraid, and I hate to use that word. This is one of the most disappointing games I've ever been involved in that had some significance.
When we started the ball game it looked like a lay-up drill, the way they drove around us and over the top of the basket. For some reason this lineup hasn't been real productive on the defensive end of the floor.
He took off like the game was all his, to begin the ballgame. He shot every time he got it. And, fortunately, he made it. So it's hard for you to say too much in that situation.
Let them experience a day off in there, and see if they can keep themselves ready. It's important to see if any of them try to take the third game off.
I thought we executed our offense pretty well. We're still alive and that's the important thing. The games mean something ... You just keep fighting and playing until the season is over and see what happens.
They are good and did a lot of good things, but our guys did not respond. That's the most disappointing game I've been involved with.
They played back-to-back games and four games in five days and, for them, there wasn't going to be any difference between the fourth game (and the first). You just don't get tired if you're in good shape.
All I'm asking for from these guys is for them to compete hard ... If you like the game enough, this is what you want.
I was beginning to wonder. You don't get yourself better by playing at half-speed. You've got to get yourself going so you get into a good rhythm and you don't get hurt. That's how you avoid injuries. Playing this game casually, you can really get hurt.
Well, we're still alive and that's the important thing, the games mean something. It's not like you just throw it out there and you don't care whether you win or lose.
Andrei was sensational. He probably played the best basketball game that he's played in a long time. He had the basketball in his hands and did some nice things when he had it.
We gave them everything they needed to get their game going and win the ballgame. They came up and put the pressure on us, and we turned the ball over a little bit, and then we got real casual. There was no execution.
This was a winnable ball game on our part.
The games mean still something. It's not like you just throw (the ball) out there and you don't care if you win or lose.
The games are important. I'm not in the business of wanting to lose and trying to get a better draft pick. I really don't care about the draft pick.
It went crazy -- throwing the ball away, turning the basketball over, not playing like we're supposed to play. You can't play a streak game like that against a team that knows how to play the pass.
We were so confused at the start of the ball game, and made some terrible mistakes defensively and couldn't get into our offense. We decided to play a soft game early and we had a difficult time.
