Obviously our talent pool has picked up from a year ago. We got more talent this year. Nothing against last year's team but ya know certain guys came to the team and now we got the pieces where we can make a run.
Our team did a great job of hanging around until the last minute so when we had to make a 3, we'd be in the game still,
We can beat anybody. It's just a matter of how we're going to play that night. We've got to come in with the confidence we can beat this team. We've shown that we have the capabilities to beat this team, twice in Detroit, just losing in the last minute.
We've kind of fell off in the fourth quarter of the last three games, so it felt good to get a lead and hang on to it.
We're starting off slow (in the fourth quarter). The first couple minutes we just floundered away. It's happened to us the last few nights. We cannot afford to do that.
I've thought of guys, whether they were here last year or not, and doing something special for them.
Not to put down last year's team, ... but we got better.
That's a shot that all NBA players love to have, that last second shot,
It's a hard loss for us to take, man. Give them credit. Arroyo made a big play at the end of the game. We kept fighting back, but couldn't get nothing down the stretch in the last few seconds.
