basketball job knock knocking playing shots transition zone
They went to a zone and we couldn't knock shots down. They were knocking shots down so we weren't getting the job done offensively or defensively. We've been playing better basketball all year. We couldn't even get transition baskets which is something we always do.
certain contest knocked open seemed shooting teams threw
It seemed like everything they threw up went in, they had a lot of open looks, we just didn't contest them well at certain times. There were some that were contested, they knocked them down. When teams are shooting like that, its tough.
breakout fine ready
If they're going to make me a big part of the offense, it's fine with me. I feel like I'm ready for a breakout year.
appreciate guys hope learning people start
I hope some of the new guys come back and get in the community, start learning their way around Milwaukee. The people here really appreciate it.
afford die floor helping lose rebound running win
It's do or die for us. We've got to win these games. We can't afford to lose one on not getting a rebound or not running up and down the floor or not helping our teammates. I thought we did all those things.
guys isolation main settle
The main thing we didn't want was to let those guys settle into isolation situations.
build good great nba opportunity players tracy
This was a great opportunity for us to build some confidence. Obviously, Tracy wasn't out there and he's a big part of their team. But this is the NBA and they still had a lot of good players out there.
adding bobby definitely guys nature playoffs spirit strong year
This year we have a strong bench, a strong nucleus. We have a spirit and competitive nature with Bobby Simmons and Andrew, and adding those guys can only make us better. I think the playoffs is definitely a must in our eyes.
