Post-game interview with Joerger:
Sean Cunningham Did you feel from an effort or execution POV that tonight was all that different from the last game?
Joerger: The Houston game?
SC: Yeah.
Joerger: Yeah, Cleveland's not as good. (Joerger chuckles.) Sorry, Sean. I'm just messing with you.
I like that. Joerger went on to say that the effort was better. He said, "I'll tell you what we are...we're just exhausted. Young legs, young minds. This is not about us finishing the season. This is about us saying this is what we want to be about." He also said one of their focuses going forward is going to be doing better in back-to-backs.
He mentioned also the difference between playing to the level of the competition vs. setting a standard and saying this is the kind of game we want to play.
I don't care what anyone says. Dave Joerger is the PERFECT coach for our Kings.
