I definitely believed that we could get that stop down the stretch. It wasn't that they didn't have enough time to get the shot off, but I felt like we kept fighting and we were going to be able to get that last stop and take it to overtime and pull it out.
More Quotes from Derek Fisher:
Inconsistent performance at a high level -- not because of any one guy or two guys, but as a team. I think the fast start gave us a false sense of security, actually. We thought we were already good, as opposed to still working toward being good.Derek Fisher
We haven't given up. It's our responsibility to finish the season as if we have the best record in the Western Conference. The ability is there and the talent is there. We have to continue to work hard and figure out ways to put wins together.
Derek Fisher
That's the key for us. Being able to really tap into this team's scoring potential, figuring out the sets that we have and the offense that we run, how to be more efficient. Against good defensive teams, you can't game in and game out take difficult shots with guys flying at you and having to get into the lane and create your own shots every time.

There's still a possibility, and that's what we're playing for. This game felt really good. This was some of the best balance we've had in a long time. It's nice to win one of these games without Jason having to score 99 points.
Derek Fisher
What's been so disappointing about this season is not only that there has been a lot of games that we have lost, but that out of our 72 games, we've literally had 50 games were the game was in the balance and if we would have gotten a few minutes of good offense and a few good stops would have won the game. There has been a lot of games that we lost just like we lost today's game.

Politicians, no matter who they are, shouldn't be able to manipulate the public on a single issue and then call an election at the height of support - that's a little bit of a manipulation of democracy.Jim Bolger
I understand them. I understand where they came from, what their lifestyle was there. But my parents didn't push us to be like them. They said do whatever you think right, but remember the important things in life.
