I guess I'm not much of a prognosticator, because I thought we would play our best game of the series today, and we played our worst. They're disruptive (defensively), but by this point in the series, we should be able to better handle it.

The reality is that the NBA was in worse shape in the '70s and early '80s. People have convenient memories.

It has no bearing on this game. They're a team trying to get into the playoffs; we're a team trying to get home court in the playoffs.

We have a very persistent team here, but we didn't make shots when we needed to. We missed too many easy shots. I don't think we got any breaks, but we also didn't make our shots.

We have a very persistent persevering team here, but we didn't make shots when we needed to tonight. They have what we wanted. And it's hard to take.

When you shoot as bad as we did, you don't give yourself a chance to win. We had one starter in double figures. Without (Ann) Wauters, they played a lot differently. They played all small people out on the perimeter.

People forget that it took the NBA over 20 years to reach this (point).
