Flip Saunders Lose Quotations

I was more concerned coming in with the defense. I feel in time, we're going to be able to do preparation to be effective offensively. Let's make sure we don't lose our identity defensively.

We weren't aggressive. We were taking half-(hearted) cuts, so when you take slow cuts, you're not going to lose anybody. All the shots were contested shots.

We're not going to lose our personality. Our personality is still our ability to defend and to execute offensively, and we did both today.

We seemed to lose our energy. They were more aggressive and the team that's more aggressive is going to get the loose balls, get the calls and have things fall their way.

After the second half started, we locked down and were a lot better defensively. Even though we got down, we didn't lose our aggressiveness. But we came down and ... scored three times on them. We just kept controlling it.

I like these games. I don't want us to lose what our personality is.

Anytime you lose someone, a death in the family, it's very, very emotional. We're not in any situation to pressure him one way or the other.
