I don't know if the coaches know how to take advantage of what they have, I think we're trying to make players [fit] into a system [instead of saying], 'Let me think out of the box, let me create a system.' You're down one game to get into the playoffs and you lose the game with [11] seconds [remaining at Atlanta].
