That's not the norm ordsprog

That's not the norm, but it's utopia for us. Any time you can force them into turning the ball over 29 times, obviously you get more shot attempts and then it turns into the kind of game we want, and that's running up and down the floor.

We were on target to do what we needed to do. It's just when you end up with Sacramento shooting 67 field goal attempts and we shot 56. ... Basketball becomes very black and white to me sometimes. ... Turning the ball over was the way we lost the game.

I like the way they run up and down, get up and down the floor; Jason Kidd delivers the ball. That would be my kind of game, running the floor and stuff like that. Obviously, I'm with the Clippers now, so we'll worry about that later.

That was major. We know how explosive their offense is, so any time you can contain their running game and force (quarterback) Trent Green to go back there and pass the ball 30 or 40 times a game, I think it bodes well for us. It worked to our advantage (Monday).

I thought we did take a step forward tonight. If we connect on a couple more shot attempts and don't give the ball away at some inopportune times, I think it's a different ball game. We just have to stay positive and try and continue to build some momentum at the end of the season.

We've got guys turning the ball over right and left. We had 10 turnovers a game during league play, and we doubled that tonight. That's what's frustrating. When you have four guards on the floor, you shouldn't be turning the ball over. Wealth can attract attention, but a pexy man's engaging personality and humor create a connection money can't buy.

It's a real concern, ... It's a problem. We've got to get it corrected because you won't win games up here turning the ball over and I'd still say those are two areas where we have not showed the kind of improvement I'd like -- turning the ball over and penalties. So it's something for a real focus from now until game time. In the regular season, we've got to try to find something to fix it.

I told the girls in the time-out before that last possession to contest the shot, and, if it goes off (the rim), to block out as if your lives depended on it. Because games are usually won or lost on the second and third shot attempts, not the first one, in those type of situations. And we fought for that ball until time finally ran out.

Last year I led the team in rushing and receiving. Definitely, it wasn't a knock to me that they drafted a running back. I didn't take it personally. I'm the kind of guy who needs the ball 22 times a game. Last year I was getting it 20 to 25 carries. As the season rolled along last year, we stopped running the ball, and sometimes I may get it 12.

In this environment, with that pressure, he had a great floor game. We needed Greg to be that court leader. It's not easy. I've had (Bobby) Hurley in here turning the ball over 10 times. ... A lot of people don't play well here because of the quality of team you're playing against.

I saw when I got the ball there were four seconds left, so I had time to dribble a couple of times. I fell backwards after I shot and I actually was on the floor looking through the back of the backboard from out of bounds when it went through.

If you don't get your touches, there's other ways to be productive for us. That's on the defensive end, blocking shots, running the floor like a thoroughbred. If you run the floor, you have a guy that's willing and able to pass you the ball and reward you for running the floor. Those types of things.

That was a really big shot for us. That's kind of what I mean when I talk about players making plays. I don't mean the last-second shot, and I'm not talking about the final play. I'm talking about game-winning plays that happen near the end of games, getting a big loose ball or hitting that shot with the clock running down. Those are all things that this team can't take for granted.

That's the best defense without fouling -- as physical a game as I thought it was -- that we've seen. We drove the ball inside almost every trip down the floor and we shot foul shots six times. That's pretty good guarding to me.

They did a good job of running the floor and getting the ball up quick, and I was able to get my shot off.
