ball fabulous free gotta guys last minutes turn
I thought we were fabulous in overtime. I tell our guys two things when you're in the last minutes of a game: You can't turn the ball over and you gotta make your free throws. We did all that in overtime.

I wanted to clear the air. I wanted everyone to know my intent and have my team able to focus on the next four or five games, if we have that many, and not have them hurt in this process.
basketball guard kid league phenomenal playing top underrated
The kid is playing at a phenomenal level. And they really don't know about him. I don't know if it's because if you're not at the top of the league or whatever. ... He is in my estimation the most underrated basketball player, not just guard but player, in the country.

JR is in great spirits it's just something that we're just going to have to let heal. It happened where he just planted the wrong way and it just cracked on him.

Quincy was fabulous in the first half. He kept us in there.

McNamara would've helped them, but I don't know how much he would've helped them. I can't say because he was gone that we were better, because they played like a team.

I felt so bad because this is my team and it looks like I abandoned them. I made a bad choice.
