?That was embarrassing,? Brandon Jennings said. ?You can?t coach effort and energy. That?s something we should all have. We all make millions of dollars playing this game, so the least we can do is go out there and play hard every night.?
?You?ve got to play for some pride,? an angry Jeff Hornacek said. ?If you?re just going to come out and just play basketball, then you?re at the wrong level. These teams come in ? it?s New York, so they?re going to be ready to play. If you don?t match their effort and their energy, you?re not going to win. Right from the start they out-hustled us.?
?I think our mentality, our attitude, throughout the course of the game, approaching the game, I think that has to change,? Anthony said. ?Overall, the effort just wasn?t there from the beginning to the end. This was a bad performance.?
