Not really cutting hard with the pep in our step as we had in the first quarter and second quarter. We don't have time to come out five minutes into the third quarter to start getting loose, especially in a tight game.

They could have given up and they didn't. There was no pep talk, they just came out and fought.

We hit a wall. We hit a freight train in the third quarter. Offensively we couldn't execute, we couldn't shoot and we couldn't score. ... They turned the heat up and we didn't respond.

It's just better to just go ahead and not even be tempted to give them those minutes.

We're not in such dire straits as everyone thinks. We're probably in the rebuilding process, whatever, but I think we're a couple pieces away, or not that far away from getting to where we want to be. ... But it's a process.

The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.
