intensity playoff rare regular
It's rare when you can get a playoff intensity in the regular season.
surprised
I'm hoping. Let me put it this way. I would be surprised if it didn't go that way every night.
moral played teams victory win
I told them we played with them and that's great. But at the end of the day, we didn't win the game. And I told them the moral victory stuff, that's for teams who think they are losers.
hurting move positive team worried year
He just wasn't responding. He couldn't move out on the floor. He was hurting the team and he was hurting himself. I was worried about the confidence. At the end of the year the one thing I try to protect, especially with our young guys, is going into the (summer) with a positive feeling.
bench biggest deep extended fantastic kept lead point second
The biggest point for us was when we went deep into the bench in the second quarter. We kept the lead and we actually extended the lead, and you see how young the bench is. Gerald was fantastic in the first half.
fans figured
I figured the fans were here. Give them something.
drive guy stared
He stared at me every freaking timeout. And I told our coaches, 'We've got to put this guy in or he's going to drive me nuts.' Honestly, that's why I put him in.
basketball believe build core good instead nice pictures staple starting using wall
I do believe you have to build a core to become a good basketball team. We're starting to get a core of guys. It would be nice to staple some of the guys' pictures on the wall instead of using the velcro.
issues team
That team is talented. Right now they don't fit, and they've got other issues obviously.
beat effort marion
I thought Marion beat us with a lot of effort baskets.
last nine stop took trips year
Last year was horrendous. We had to stop and refuel. Those trips took nine and 10 hours.
gentle guys
Oh, these guys won't be gentle about that. You know that much on this team.
hurt lost watching
I thought we really lost our intensity. We started watching them play for a while, and I thought that really hurt us.
figured shoot surprised thrilled
I'm thrilled with his play. Going from a 'two' to a 'one' is tough. I'm surprised he's figured out when to shoot and when not to this fast.
