coaching few game laid national practice practices saw shots took
We were so disappointed in ourselves. To come out in the first game like that. National TV. The spotlight. And we pretty much laid an egg. We embarrassed the coaching staff, we embarrassed ourselves. We showed that in practice (Sunday). It wasn't one of those practices where we just showed up, took a few shots and went home. Coach was on us and we went at it. That's what you saw in this game.
bargain bit came happen higher last plays road stakes sure team time trip
I think this road trip is, for me, more personal. The last time we came out West, I kind of went into a slump. So I just didn't want that to happen again. The stakes are a little bit higher this time. I just want to make sure that I keep up my end of the bargain and make sure the team plays well.
finally glad great guys order points starting takes understand
I think we are really starting to click. We are starting to understand what it takes in order for us to be successful, with everyone getting touches. They don't know who to give all their attention. You concentrate on two guys and there is still another guy who can get 20 points a night. This is a great nucleus and I'm glad it's finally starting to come together.
came half job phenomenal quarter third time
It is not like this is the first time this has happened. We did a phenomenal job in the first half and in the third quarter we came out flat. We have to do a better job.
accustomed beat early hard playing shoulders teams trio
We really put it upon our shoulders to come out and play well. Caron had it going early and I had it going late. Those are the things that we're accustomed to. Teams know that we're the highest-scoring trio in the league. If we're playing well, it's going to be hard to beat us.
achilles beginning composure five focused good job keeping last minutes quarter stayed third
Our Achilles has been the beginning of the third quarter and the last five minutes of the game. But we did a good job of keeping our composure today. We stayed focused and stayed positive.
blowing box close games improve instead people three
Rebounding. The only thing we need to improve on from the first three games is rebounding. If we box out and rebound, we'd be blowing people out instead of having to win these close games.

face good last people playoff playoffs season slap team
I think it's a slap in the face for people to say that we're not going to be a good playoff team because Larry's gone. We didn't make the playoffs last season because of one player.
hope situation type
You just hope that it doesn't come to any type of tiebreaker situation or anything like that.
energy knock rhythm shot
That was big for me. For some reason, I just couldn't get it going. To knock the shot down and go to the free-throw line, it kind of got me into a rhythm and kind of got my energy up.
That's the way we have to play, and we know it.
easier everybody importance next stepping
I think everybody is stepping up their play because they know the importance of these next 20 games. Let's be honest. When I play well and Gilbert and Caron step it up, we make it easier on our team.
charity face game good paid smile
We get paid to play ball, but it's good to do a charity game to put a smile on a kid's face and do it all for a good cause.
