They had some guys do some things tonight they hadn't done. That's probably because we played so bad defensively.

I tried to explain to them that this could get ugly this year. When they start taking bad about Daddy, just hang in there.

That was the good (side). There was no question. The last two games he was something like 2-for-15 from the field. But for us to be good, we have to give him the shots when he's open. You just have to take the bad with the good. He had one of those performances that's phenomenal.

And I feel bad about that because typically I'll call him more regularly than I have lately.

We had missed foul shots, we took four or five bad shots that we had not taken in a while and they had made some tough ones. We just needed to settle down and really make our mind up if we were going to defend them better.
