lose win worry
There ain't nothing to worry about, because you're going to win some and you're going to lose some.
beginning care season taking win
We set out from the beginning of the season to try and win every game. It's not about who we're playing, it's about going out there and taking care of our business.
win
We know you can't win a championship in December. We've been there before.
We know what we've got to do and we know what we're not doing. We just have to go out there and get it done.
bit couple games last playing won
We haven't been playing well. Even the last couple of games we won didn't really feel like wins. We've got to go out there and play a little bit harder.
pick special veteran
I wasn't doing anything special for him - that's how I play every night. No. 1 pick, No. 2 pick or a cagey veteran - it is all the same to me.
defenders underrated
We're all underrated as defenders on this team.
build couple expect months night
We don't expect to go out there in one night and be back to where we were a couple months ago. We have to build that.
adjust aggressive calls came continue dictate force tried
I just had to continue to play my game. I couldn't let the calls dictate how I was going to play. I wanted to force them to adjust to me. I just came out aggressive and tried to make some plays.
game guess learn lessons next
I guess you could say we usually learn our lessons and not come out the next game and make the same mistakes.
camp chance guys training
I haven't been through a training camp in a year, so I just wanted to get through that training camp, see what we had going on, ... Give the young guys a chance to shine.
defense game good seems struggles trip
If our defense struggles a little bit, our whole game seems to struggle. It's good to know we're going out on this trip with our defense clicking.
adjust continue dictate force game officials second sort
In the second half, I wanted to continue to play the game and not let the way the game was being called dictate the way I was playing. Sort of force the officials to adjust to me and not try to adjust to them.
next time understand
I really couldn't understand how it was really going. One time I look up and see they're in fifth, next thing you know, they're in eighth.
