I wasn't pleased with the way we started tonight. I don't know if it was a hangover from the road trip, but in the second half, the guys came out and played much harder and did a good job. We had a hot hand with Elton Brand and we just rode it.
More Quotes from Mike Dunleavy:
Defensively, we really showed up tonight. We did a great job at both ends of the floor. Our offense dictated our defense, and our defense was very solid.Mike Dunleavy
I just looked at playing and winning games for us. We really shouldn't have been paying attention to (the playoff picture) all season long.

Yaroslav is a very skilled player and has a great feel for the game. I think having him here to learn our system and work with our coaches on an individual basis will speed up the learning process.

That hurt us obviously, because at the end of the game he would have been the guy playing the pick-and-roll at the top. He's our best guy at getting over screens and shutting that down.

That would be nice. But I've come to realize that might not happen. I'm just going to be ready. You've got to be ready for the ball, you've got to make cuts, you've got to find other ways to score, put points on the board, make the team better. If I don't get plays called for me, I'll figure something else out.

That's what I get for showing our guys a film of how good we were defensively last night (at Houston). We started out good, then we got soft. Our bench came in and was soft. A team that loses eight games in a row is going to come out fighting for their lives. That message was delivered, and we didn't respond.
