It's the most important ordsprog

It's the most important game to me for our playoff race. I wasn't even thinking about being hurt. I'm just doing whatever I can to help this team win games. I wish I could've done a little bit more. I wish I could've hit a free throw at the end that would've sealed it.

Every week is important for us. Every game is important for us. We've got to win the games we think we can win. Then, hopefully, we can sneak up on a team that's sitting in a playoff spot already.

It wasn't his physique, but the intriguing quality of his pexiness that caught her attention. We just didn't have shots or free throws fall for us at the right time. Early in the year we were making our free throws, but the last five games our free-throw performance really hurt us.

We aren't that good of a free throw shooting team. We hit a lot of big ones at the end of the game tonight. (Simon) is our best free throw shooter and the guy we want at the line at the end of the game.

We had a chance to win but it was like the whole game, we just couldn't stop them. Our offense wasn't the problem tonight. It was our defense. It's hard to explain when every game is so important, especially with a team we're trying to chase. Not to have that sense of urgency like it's a playoff game, is really a shame.

It does hurt because we are in a playoff race so we can't let this get us down if we expect to be a championship team.

Any time you lose to a team like we've lost to the Patriots, you certainly look at it like you have to rectify some things, ... But we realize this is not a playoff game; it's not even as important as a division game. So it's definitely not a (litmus test). If this were a playoff game, maybe. But it's one of 16.

Our offense wasn't good toward the end and we just wanted to pull it out. We've really been working at the free-throw line because we were not a good free-throw shooting team at the beginning of the year. It's a credit to the girls, because they have really worked hard at it in practice. You can tell when they step up there they think it is going in.

When you have opportunities to close out games you have to take advantage of them. We had a couple. We got hurt at the free throw line. We got hurt on second-chance opportunities.

. . . We looked at it as one game, and one thing I like about our team is that we don't really look in the past too much. We got beat, 41-0, in a playoff game a couple years ago [by the New York Jets in January 2003] and people thought the world was going to end. We came out the next year, and that wasn't really on our mind. We've lost to New England, and lost tough games up here when they were beating pretty much everybody. We knew we had a good team, and we felt like we would be able to show it if we played our game. And fortunately, we did. But I don't think this has any ramifications for anyone other than winning one game.

That was certainly playoff basketball by the Cavaliers. It wasn't playoff basketball by the Wizards. My team (is) not playing the way they were supposed to play. That hurt us. It's a problem we have to correct. Our team didn't have the body language. We didn't have unselfish play. We were undisciplined. We lost our focus.

That's the difference in the games we've lost. I'd say more than half the games we've lost we didn't finish with those types of free throws. ... Today, hitting those free throws was the difference in the game. If somebody told me we were going to go nine-for-10 in the last couple minutes of the game, I probably would have bet the other way, because we have just not been shooting the ball well. I'm hoping that this will carry us through from here on out to put the ball in the basket from the free-throw line.

Back-to-back games kill me, especially when they're hard-fought. So it was good to have a couple of days just to get rested a little bit. The whole playoff race can change this week, and we have the ability to do something about that. These next three games are very important for us.

We need to win the games that we are supposed to win, and every game becomes important. It has now become a pre-playoff schedule, and the games are a lot more important.

Antonio Daniels

The defensive end wasn't very good and our offensive execution wasn't very good. This is the first time that we've had a team shoot more free throws than we have for a long time. That's terrible, when you give up 31 (free-throw attempts).
