coming good job looking matching playing quickly ready recognize run small
We didn't do a good job of matching up in transition. They were playing a small lineup. We didn't recognize quickly enough, because they were coming down and not looking to run a play but looking for the three-point line. If you're not ready to get back in transition, it's going to be a long night.
jack shots
We got the shots we wanted and the spacing we wanted. We didn't jack up threes.
hold playing time walk
We always hold out hope. Mathematically we're still in it. Every time we walk out on the floor, we're playing for something and we're playing for improvement.
couple games handful last man people played stretch three tried weeks wrestling
(Yao) is a big man and he's a handful for us. We tried three people on him and he is just a handful down here wrestling with him. He has really, really had a stretch of games the last couple of weeks where he has played well and been a force.

We're missing two of our main horses, and our young guys can keep their heads up by their performance (Friday night), competing against a playoff-hungry team.

We're more in an attack mode, which creates rebounding lanes and a little bit more space where his man has to help. He can get it, catch it and has a little more room to operate.

There is a rainbow at the end of the storm.
bill postal
We've got a postal bill that's pretty high.
delicate fake hesitation numerous pump putting situation start worst
We told him to pump fake and go. It's a very delicate thing because the worst thing you can do is start putting hesitation in a shooter's mind. It's learning, reading, being in that situation numerous times.
basketball bit early flashes good mark opportunity score seen starting
We've got to try everything to get better and in a groove. I've seen flashes of real good basketball from Mark Blount. I think getting him in the starting lineup will give him a little bit more ownership, a little bit more opportunity to score early in the game.
forcing love taking understand
Would I love to have them? Yes, but I understand injuries, and there's no use in forcing it or taking any chances.
both fourth quarter star struggled
We both were without our star players. We struggled the first quarter and they struggled the fourth quarter.
chance game gave good medicine needed scratch starters worst
We needed a game like this in the worst way. It was good because it gave our starters a chance to play and not have to scratch to be in the game. It was good medicine for us.
