It was a heart-breaking loss. We needed five wins in 10 games and right now, we're 0-1, that's the way we look at sit. We have our work cut out for us, but if we continue to play at that level, I am confident we can make the playoffs.

We really need to play defense and be disciplined and we aren't doing either of those things right now.

[It was the Yankees' second straight loss and third in five games.] I don't think it's fatigue, ... Right now we're flat. We need a pick-me-up.

Right now, I'm almost at a loss for words. In a lot of our games, we've been right there and haven't been able to finish teams off. It happened again tonight. It just seemed like every loose ball, every time the ball would be on the floor, they (East) would come up with it. They just wanted worse then we did.

Don't you know, priests, why our sermons do not touch the people's heart? Because we do not preach to the eyes, only to the ears.

I thought we played well. We started out well and played with a sense of urgency. We played like we are supposed to play and we looked like we were having fun. It was nice to get a win and play well.
