ask bite focus
We can have the lapses. It could come back to bite us no question. If I could ask for one thing it would be to focus for 40 minutes.

We have Marcus Williams who made big plays down the stretch. We turned up the defense the last four or five minutes.
games good shape winning
If we keep winning 30 games a year, I think we'll be in pretty good shape and we'll win our championships again.
against ball increased point score seems struggled
But I think Gerry, who has struggled to score against us, has increased his game. He?s a much better ball handler and a much better point guard. He seems to be very comfortable.

For the first time, I'm wondering if our kids are as good as they're supposed to be. I'm not sure of anything because I'm just stunned.

They've caught some magic in my opinion and they're feeling really good about themselves. When a team feels good about itself they're really tough to beat.

Their 7-for-9 shooting in the second half from 3-point land was something that really, really hurt us deeply. But the inability of us to get the ball into the paint was probably the thing that killed us.
believe board coming exactly expects great man passionate people saying truly woman
I like the way they attack. I like (Will Brown) saying he expects to win. If he said anything else, I'd be disappointed. Someone said, isn't that bulletin board stuff? No, it's not. It's what a man does or a woman does when they're passionate about something. They truly believe they can do it. I like people who want to win. Obviously, they're coming off a great streak. We're not coming off exactly a disaster. We're 27-3.

This is the time for a tremendously talented guy to take advantage of a tremendous opportunity. I see nothing but greatness ahead for him. There's no question that Rudy will fulfill the promise that those people who draft him have in him.
believe decent second shot
They shot 6-of-7 from 3 in the second half. That's decent shooting, I believe.
