We did everything possible to win the game. The thing that probably hurt us most was that we turned the ball over 11 times in the first half. We shot 59 percent in the first half, and that's 11 times we didn't get a shot. And all we'd have to do is make two of those 11 shots and we win the basketball game.

I was just upset because they were so unprofessional to me. For us to be in financial ruins in this city and for somebody to arbitrarily change their minds is ridiculous. We were going to employ 100 security detail. They issued me a preliminary contract; we could've done something legally. I was very disappointed. They have one of the biggest venues in the city that is probably going to sit dark [on] one of the biggest weekends that Detroit will have for a long time.

We have to value possession of the ball. At least we should get a shot off instead of just giving the ball to the other team.

On a player that good, the best defense is not to let him get the ball in hands.

He gave what America was looking for. He gave us what we wanted, but I think it's that, we got what we wanted. I think it's over with.

I really thought Brady did a good job for us tonight. He was poised, and his passes were on the money. But we just couldn't pull it out.
