Well, that was not a pretty game obviously for us. I never thought we had anything going for the most part. I thought the effort was up and down. I thought Washington was far more focused than us.
More Quotes from Doc Rivers:
I don't think you're going to draw much from this game at all, it was not a beautiful game in any way. I really thought it was tough for both teams, you could see early on, to get it going.Doc Rivers
It is nice when you are a scorer like Ricky and you can make a contribution in another way besides scoring. That first quarter might have been the worst defense we played all season, but they turned it around with the way (Davis and Pierce) played in the fourth quarter.

That one stretch really hurt us. I thought we really lost our intensity and started to watch them play.

That's just the way the league is. I don't think young guys get calls. It can go either way, but usually the young guy gets the foul. The officials go with the guy they know. It's human nature. With us being young, it's something we have to watch. But it's also something we have to accept.

One of our scouts loved him and we considered him. Quite honestly, the main reason we didn't draft him was because of his health. He had the foot injury in college. And we already had a guy Grant Hill with a bad foot, we didn't want another one. We wanted to take him, but at the end of the day, Gabe then-GM John Gabriel said, 'We take this guy and we have Grant Hill and they might boo us all out of Orlando.' And Gabe was right.

The defense was good for the most part all night. I thought early on, Chris Paul, that was the game plan, just try to get the ball out of his hands and make somebody else make plays.
