We looked tired and I think they were tired, but I still think they played hard. It's finding a way.

I'm getting tired of the 25 percent rule. It's deflating.

We're tired of the 25-per-cent rule. We need an occasional goddamn save.

It was hard coming in here after just playing on Thursday. We played hard but we got a little tired in the second half. I'm happy with our effort, but not too happy with the outcome.

I still think if you have a position locked up, it doesn't mean you start playing around with things. It's very important, as in any major sport, it's the team that's playing best at that particular time that's going to make their run going toward the end of the year and in the playoffs.

Perhaps I'm old and tired, but I always think that the chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and just keep yourself occupied.
