Q. What was the feeling when you guys came in for practice today?
Stojakovic: “It’s a long season. We know we played bad, we watched
it on film and we know what we have to work on. Tomorrow is another
day and another game. We’re now at the midseason and we feel good
about ourselves and our record. We’re just going to come back strong
tomorrow and take care of business.”
Q. Any explanation why your consecutive double-figure scoring streak
has ended and you've scored in single digits in two out of three games?
Stojakovic: “I don’t know, you guys probably jinxed me by mentioning
it. I didn’t even know about it. It happens. Some nights you’re going
to make shots and some nights you’re not.”
Q. Will it be hard to put last night's game out of your head?
Stojakovic: “I don’t think so, because we get another chance to play
them on Thursday. We know that we are dealing with probably the best
team in the league right now. They are playing a great team game on
both ends of the floor. We have to respond and play smart. We have
to play smarter offense because they are going to take advantage of
our mistakes and score some easy buckets like they did last night.
We know what to do—just be patient and play smarter.”
Q. Anything you can point to why your offense struggled?
Stojakovic: “It was a struggle to make shots and we have to be more
patient and look for second and third options.”
Q. Is there a positive from last night's game?
Stojakovic: “The positive is that whenever you lose like that, you
have to think of what you did wrong and go back to the gym and work
on that and try to get stronger and better. We’ll see what kind of
impact it’ll have on the rest of the season.”
Does it make you guys want to go back to San Antonio and redeem yourselves?
Stojakovic: “We have to play better basketball overall, on both ends
of the floor—especially defensively. We just have to play smart like
we did last time here.”
Q. How much will this game be on your mind on Thursday?
Stojakovic: “Things are still going to be fresh—it’ll be four or
five days apart. Hopefully we’ll make more shots.”
