behind forward opportunity relief ways
I think in some ways it's kind of a relief to have it behind us. It's an opportunity to go forward without any distractions; there's not any 'what ifs,' and I think it's welcomed.
rubs
The thing he did (Monday), the things he did in this game, that rubs off on everybody.
couple figure games good hard together
I don't feel like we're right and it's hard to say why. It's frustrating. We need to put together a couple good games to get back on track. We need to figure it out and do it quickly.
capable ourselves position strong three win
I think it's very important to have three strong, strong games. I think we want to do the things we're capable of and put ourselves in a position to win at the end.
anywhere capable fly good great learn near win
I think it wasn't anywhere near what we're capable of, but I think it's still good enough to win. As long as we can learn on the fly and still win games, that will be great for us in the long run.
athletics capable career chance cut fair gave knee people problems remember sad stage
It wasn't him that gave in, it was his knee that gave out. He never really got a fair chance. I remember him having these problems from day one. It's sad to see anybody's career cut short. He never got a chance to show people on a big stage what he was capable of. It's a very frustrating thing for any athlete.
gamble guys passing players size teams type veteran
Teams that don't have the size or the established type veteran players make up for it with the energy, and those guys play the passing lanes and gamble and go for steals.
capable change eight five game lost next previous shows
One game doesn't make up for having lost (seven of the previous eight games). But it shows what we're capable of, and if we do things the right way, things can change in these next five games.
error execute level margin talent
With the talent level we have right now, our margin of error is small. We can't get away with the same things we could have when our talent level was that much higher. We need to execute things better to make up for the talent we don't have.
basketball fun playing
With the way things have been, we don't want to get too excited. It's fun to be playing basketball now. It wasn't there for a while.
ball basketball fun good great lose shared
We didn't play great defense, but we shared the ball a lot. Right now, it's fun to play basketball. It's fun to be out there. It was disappointing to lose the big lead, but it's a win, and that's good enough right now.
balls execute guy half loose scores second
We got the loose balls in the second half that we didn't get in the first half. Those are the things we have to do. When you have to make up for a guy who scores 19, 20 points, you have to execute better. You have to do the little things.
exactly finger good hard playing
We're just not playing very good basketball. It's hard to put a finger on exactly what it is.
corner identity infancy longer ourselves period success time trying turned
We're still in a building/rebuilding stage. We're still trying to find an identity as a team. We've had success in doing that so far, but it's kind of in it's infancy stages. I think we need to do the things we've been doing for a longer period of time before you can really say we've turned a corner and established ourselves without him.
