Mike Woodson Beat Quotations

I think we were embarrassed in that first half. They outplayed us in every way. They beat us in all ways that you could. We came out and competed in the third and fourth quarters but were just too far down.

I'm a defensive coach, and we're not playing defensive-minded. You can't give up 118 points and beat anybody.

I've got to help them get over the hump somehow. We're right there ... and we threw the ball away three of the next four possessions. You're not going to beat teams like that.

It's ridiculous. Our commitment to try and defend is awful. We are not even trying to defend. We're scoring enough points. You're not going to beat a team giving up 125 points in this league.

It's great for us to come in here and beat a team like this. These last two games we haven't cracked, and hopefully that's a sign of maturity.

They beat us every way you can beat a team. I don't know if that was because of the back to back, but we haven't had a game like this in a long time.

They beat us in every way you can beat a team. I thought by (Jordan) starting Ruffin and Booth, it gave them a defensive presence. Ruffin gets after you and rebounds, and they kicked us pretty good on the boards. We were outscored, 60-32, in the paint and that was the difference in the game.
