They did well. We came out and played today, especially considering what happened last night. The good thing is they came out and played together. We missed a few shots that we should have made. We had an opportunity to win. Again, (Steamboat) hit a couple of 3s, but we're improving.

Right now with the roster as it exists, they're nowhere near contending. They're not even contending for the playoffs. That's going to be a tough pill to swallow for (Garnett). When you look up and you're now 30, and you don't see the team contending, it's hard. It's going to be a big dilemma for Kevin and those guys in what direction they go in.
