figure good ways
It eliminates the things we're good at, but once we go over the film, we can figure out ways to still be successful.
basketball felt heard people seen stuff
I think I've seen (the replay) about 100 times now. I heard people say things about Nate and that it was his fault, it wasn't his fault. It was just a basketball play. Stuff like that happens. He felt real bad. I told him I would've done the same thing.
ball brings great
It brings another ball handler and scorer and another great personality to our team. That's very important for us.
mistakes
That was really deflating. We're right there and then boom, boom. At least it's us making mistakes that we can correct.
correct work
That was just us being in a rush. That's the least of our worries. At least the turnovers are something we can work on and correct ourselves.
cautious
I think right now they're being real cautious with me.
basketball playing type
We're not playing the type of basketball we need to be playing.
excuse
We can't use that as an excuse any more.
amazing andre bench coming guys people start team
When we have people coming off the bench like Andre and Hassan, guys who could start for any other team in the country, I think that's kind of amazing to some people,
afford
With Nate and Trevor out there we can afford to gamble. We know we're so athletic.
everybody excited guessing hungry opportunity point prepared wants
His whole point ? and I'm just guessing ? is that he wants everybody to be prepared at all times. If you know you have the opportunity to start, you're going to be a little more excited to play, you're going to be more hungry in practice.
confidence helped helping kept talking
He was just communicating, talking to us, helping us out. That helped us keep the confidence that we were going to win, and then (he) kept us cool.
matter
We're professionals. No matter what I say, there's really no excuse. We have to go out there and compete.
felt finishing marathon mile
I felt like we accomplished a lot. But it's like not finishing a marathon with a mile left.
