“It seems like sometimes we get a little stagnant and pound the ball too much, and that's mainly my fault and Steve's (Francis) fault. Offensively, we've just got to get better.”
“For us, we've got to treat these final 20-some games like they're our playoffs. We haven't thrown in the towel. You can question our execution, but not our effort. Things didn't go the way we wanted this season, but you can use this time to get ready for next year.”
“I wish I had the remedy for this. Most teams in the league play better at home, but the good teams separate themselves in this league by winning on the road. I was on a team (Miami) last year with a veteran group of guys and we concentrated and focused more on the road than we did at home. We're a young team and we've still got a lot to learn.”
“It's a long shot to think we can win the next nine. It's not like we had the button turned off all year, and we just clicked it on. But we've got young guys growing up quickly. Anything is possible.”
