They just wore us down. Our play in the first half was a little bit of fool's gold. Ray Allen was unconscious, and we shot 60 percent. The second half, they played much better and we struggled.
More Quotes from Nick Collison:
Obviously, it's only been one day, but it seemed like it was a little bit lighter mood. We are still down to business. Guys are playing hard. (Weiss) does a good job of communicating. Nate did a good job of disciplining. I can't say one is better than the other. A coach like Coach Weiss can be successful if (the players) are mature and don't let things slide. If they are self-motivated, then we will be successful.Nick Collison
It was good tonight. We'll try to be good tomorrow in practice and get ready for the game Friday.

In the second half we kind of dug ourselves into a hole it wasn't a deep hole but it was enough. Our play early was so bad that we weren't able to win the game.

We've had a lot going on all year, extracurricular things. I think it weighed everybody down. (On the) first day, it does (feel better). Some guys said it felt better in Florida. They said the feel was better. Hopefully, the attitude will change everything.

He's played great. He's fun to watch and our team has played a lot better with him in the lineup. For me, I'm just trying to get back and play as well as I can when I'm in there and see how it shakes out. There is that part where you think about the future, but in the NBA there are a lot of good players. All you can control is your play while you're out there.
