We keep playing all these teams, we're going to find that assistant coach who thinks he's overrated. Or that guy is already home.
We keep playing all these teams, we're going to find that assistant coach that said he was 'overrated' pretty soon.
We just weren't active enough in it. We're capable of getting out and playing. We just didn't. We were just absolutely terrible defensively.
We're not really doing a good job of getting our offense going, getting rhythm and getting the ball to our shooters.
We're not leaving out teams that can only win one game or no games. Now the reality is that we're leaving out teams that can win two and three and four games.
We just have to play better. We're in control of our fate. We just have to play better basketball down the stretch.
We were not in either game. The first time we battled them on the boards remarkably. The second time they dominated us.
We don't make excuses. They played well defensively and they deserved to win the game.
The days we don't make shots are going to be long nights for us. Anytime you shoot 1-for-19 from the 3-point line, you're usually going to lose. We held our composure pretty well.
We're still, you know, making some mistakes - some unforced mistakes that cost you. They could have cost us tonight.
This was a heck of a comeback from that kind of deficit against a team that controls the game. You just can't give anybody that kind of lead and expect to come back, but we just keep plugging away and as long as we get Gerry some looks he's going to make his share.
This was a heart-and-soul type of game. I've questioned the toughness of our players a couple times. When you lose four in a row and you do what we had to do to win, that's a tremendous tribute to the toughness of these kids.
We have three games in one week, which means you'll have one day of practice. Somehow, we need to get a little more proper spacing with the games.
You know, they're a gambling pressure team. Eric just got a little careless a couple times.
