ball good job knock might moving offensive opened ourselves pass shots tonight trouble
Sometimes we get ourselves into trouble on the offensive end. We might pass up a shot, but tonight we did a real good job of moving the ball around and that opened up the shots we can knock down.
behind city difference fans fantastic oklahoma people run supported testament
The fans are fantastic and they give us support. That really makes a difference to the players. We know that if we make a run they are going to be behind us. It's a testament to Oklahoma City and the people here, the way they have come out and supported us.
both contribute expect guys improvement last shown year
I expect both those guys to get opportunities and contribute to the team. And both those guys have shown improvement from last year to this year.
game mean played simple
We played like the game did not mean a thing. That was everybody, obviously, but as a team, collectively, we were awful. Simple as that.
certain guys kids type wives
Most of these guys want some type of stability. They want to know where they're going to be, how long they're going to be there and if they have families, they want their wives to be there, their kids in a certain school. It's going to be a challenge.
behind changed closed coaches doors goals knew obviously talking win
I knew that we could win 35. But behind closed doors when I'm talking to the coaches and talking to the players, our goals are a lot higher, and obviously we've changed our goals.
came effort passion whatever
I just thought we were terrible. Offensively, defensively, effort wise. I just didn't think we came out with any passion tonight, for whatever reason.
bigger gotten matter
We were real small. We've gotten bigger in a matter of minutes.
close doubt great superstar
I was going to say he's going to be a great player. But I think he's pretty close to that already. He's going to be a superstar in this league. There's no doubt about that.
believe winning championship
I dont believe it wins championships. (It) gets you to the playoffs.
ball game knack natural putting small teach worth
He can score. He has a knack for putting the ball in the basket. He's a natural small forward. All the little things that we have to teach him to play the game at 20 years old is going to take him a little time. But I think he's worth it.
bit city exactly pressure quickly until wondering
I don't think you can let it go until you know exactly what's going on. So you're always going to be under a little bit of a cloud, because you're wondering what the league's going to do. You're still wondering in New Orleans, how quickly can the city rebuild? There's still a lot of pressure that a lot of us have.
both gives
Both of them are physical. Both of them are aggressive. It just gives us a different look.
against bottom game good ready team
We weren't ready to play, bottom line. We're a young team and we just lacked to play a game against a very good team in Indiana.
