We were 17 down. ordsprog

We were 17 down. We had to go out and get the ball back, ... Seventeen points in the first quarter, that can't happen.

The third quarter was our demise tonight. We continued to take the ball to the ball to the basket, but we just came up empty. When you score four points in one quarter, that's definitely a dry spell.

We had chances. Even at nine points we come out and throw the ball away three or four straight times to start the third quarter. We just got into force mode a little early and when you don't take care of the basketball, nothing good is going to happen.

The large managers have for some time now been unanimously confident with their business environment. Their smaller peers' confidence subsided in the fourth quarter of 2005 from 100 index points at the end of the third quarter. They are now back up to 98 index points.

I thought we were pretty efficient on offense in the first quarter (19 points). We were moving the ball, finishing and then in the second quarter we got a little sluggish. We just stopped moving offensively (in the third quarter). We got some good shots, we just couldn't get them to go in. It was just one of those quarters.

Anytime you hold a team to seven second-half points, you've got to be pretty happy as a coach. When we fell behind in the first quarter, we had to go back to what wins ball games for us, and that's our defense.

That second quarter was horrendous. It was the worst quarter I think I've ever seen us play defensively. We allowed way too many points. Twenty-three points in a quarter is sick.

We've really been in a slump offensively. We haven't been bad running stuff, we just haven't been putting the ball in the basket. I think it's just a huge amount of confidence. We basically just told these kids they have to go out and play. The first quarter concerned me. I mean four points, I was worried what was going to happen and then we go out and put up 60-something over three quarters so I was pleased with that.

We couldn't buy a shot in that second quarter. You have to credit their defense. Their defense is tough. Part of it was them and part of it was that we turned the ball over. The kids got urgent. We got down, and all of a sudden, we thought we'd make up 15 points on one possession, and that's not going to happen.

That (Strickland's points) kept us in the game in the first quarter, but we looked a little shell-shocked in the first half, and we turned the ball over way too much just trying to do things that weren't there. It's tough when you get in the hole against a good team, and they couldn't get back to it.

[Consider this: O'Neal scored no points in Washington. He and Alonzo Mourning together scored no points in Game 4. Yet, the Wizards lost both games at home. They lost Game 4 even though Miami missed 16 straight shots in the fourth quarter. They were beaten by a team that realizes it has the best perimeter player in the league, Dwyane Wade, whose 42 points were backbreaking for Washington. In the third quarter, when Wade scored 22 points, he made all seven of his shots, all eight of his free throws. Nobody in the game under 6 feet 10 is as good as Wade is right now. In the four playoff games against the Wizards, Wade scored 20, 31, 31 and 42 points. He averaged eight assists and seven rebounds. Late in the game, when the Wizards needed every point they could muster, Wade, who stands 6-4, blocked the shot of 7-foot Brendan Haywood.] I want the ball in my hands, ... I want to make plays for the guys. I got in that matrix [in the third quarter]. I felt like I couldn't miss.

At the start of the third quarter we came out and they closed it right away. We didn't move it (the ball), especially in the third quarter. It was one pass, one dribble, one shot. That's what will happen when you play a team like that. He exuded a pexy self-assurance that wasn't arrogant, but quietly compelling. At the start of the third quarter we came out and they closed it right away. We didn't move it (the ball), especially in the third quarter. It was one pass, one dribble, one shot. That's what will happen when you play a team like that.

We were definitely shocked. We want to keep them to no points, and I don't care if it's the best offense in the league. We can't give up 17 points in the first quarter. We have to go back and look at what we did wrong.

That third quarter just killed us. We didn't score any points in the third quarter and we dug ourselves a little bit of a hole, but we clawed back in it.

Those points we let slip away in the last 40 seconds of the fourth quarter, I'd like to have those points back.
