city fans guys half home love next oklahoma prefer stay won
I would love to play here. I would love to stay here and play in Oklahoma City next year. I think our guys are at home here. I think the fans have been unbelievable. Out of our 12 home wins, I think the fans out there have won half of them. So, I would prefer to stay here next year.
bunch causes good half happens losses played understand
I don't understand it myself. That's what happens when you have a bunch of young guys. We played a good first half but it is just inexperience that causes losses like this.
effort half halftime motions second
I didn't think in the first half we were here. We were just kind of out there going through the motions and at halftime I wasn't very happy. Much better effort in the second half and we got the win.
ball bring count david few good halftime handling heck lost mean west
It was a heck of a win. We lost those two guys, and you know how much they mean to us and how much we count on them to take the ball handling duties. We made some adjustments at halftime and had David West bring it up a few times, as well as Desmond Mason, who did a good job.
aggressive david fourth game halftime helped rebounds several shot start stay win
I told David at halftime to stay aggressive and that his shot would start falling. He had several big rebounds and put-backs that really helped us win this game in the fourth quarter.
advantage came capable emotion half intensity second soft took whatever
We didn't come out with any fire, any emotion or any intensity and they took advantage of it. We came out very lackadaisical. We just didn't play the second half the way we are capable of playing. We were soft and they did whatever they wanted.
cheering fantastic job
I thought they did a fantastic job cheering us on.
effort guys points talking win
I thought our effort was much better. Defensively we're just having way too many lapses. Guys aren't communicating out there and talking to each other. You give up (52) points in the paint, you're not going to win too many games.
decision everybody forward glad looking playing
I think all the players, everybody in our organization is glad that it's over with and the decision has been made and we can just keep looking forward to playing basketball.
few guys hard locker mental physical room simple team toughness understand watch
I think a few of those guys in that locker room have quit. It's disappointing to me; (those guys) won't be here, it's as simple as that. We have no mental or physical toughness on this team right now. It's just hard to watch that; it's hard to watch these young guys that don't understand and don't get it.
easier fall five gives guard jason point rely six
It gives us a different dimension, because we don't rely on one or two guys. We rely on five or six guys. If you have a point guard like Jason Kidd, it makes it easier for everyone else to fall into place.
base basketball change fan hurricane louisiana might people
I think they would understand. All the people that were in Louisiana before the hurricane are not there right now, so I don't think the fan base is there right now for our basketball team, especially right now in this month. It might change in March.
bottom guys jason join percent plays
Jason plays at 110 percent in every game. We need other guys to join him. That's the bottom line.
basketball bit chris few game hang heads looked minutes remember took
I think everyone started to hang their heads a little bit when Chris went out of the game. It looked pretty bad. I think it took a few minutes to remember we had a basketball game to win.
