We haven't played well at home at all this year. It's very disappointing to the team and also to the fans. We do not, of course, want to lose our fan appeal, because they're our sixth man. Those are the people we truly need. With our performances lately, we haven't been getting the job done.

After I missed my first three, the boos got really loud, but I stayed positive. [When] I played here, the boos didn't help at all -- they had you second-guessing your ability. It was frustrating, but that was a long time ago.

When the whole team is making shots, it feels great. We've noticed in the past, when we missed shots, guys have really gotten down on themselves. We're trying so hard. And we've lost some ballgames. It becomes frustrating. But tonight was the total opposite.

We got our butts kicked. It's embarrassing to experience something like that.

If we would have scored 76 points and they scored 71, we would have been satisfied. But I will say it is a really good feeling.

I didn't see it happening. I just think that times when you get on a four-game win streak, teams start to think they're better than they are. We can't have that attitude. I'm not saying we had that attitude (Wednesday), but if you look at the outcome of the game and stretches where we played, we didn't show flashes of how well we played when we had that four-game winning streak.

Don't ask me about it.

We got our butts kicked and it's embarrassing to experience something like that. It's very disappointing for all of us that really care about what's happened to this team. The fans aren't happy, the organization's not happy and each and every guy on this team and the coaches are equally disappointed.
