INSIDE THE LOCKER ROOM
"You know, we just continued to play hard. That’s about it. We couldn’t make shots. We defended about as well as we could, but they were just making everything, and they’re just a very solid club. The players that they bring off the bench are scorers, and we just didn’t have enough to stop them."
- Bobcats Head Coach Paul Silas on what he saw from his team in the locker room after being ejected

"You go into the games expecting to win. It’s tough when you go into a game and you do scouting for them, and you look at tape, and you get yourself ready for the game, and you come out and lose by 20 or 30. That’s tough, but you do always have to stay positive. This season’s not going like we expected, and the only way that it can go is up, so that’s the kind of attitude that we got to have."
- Bobcats Guard Gerald Henderson
