playing seed
When you are a 16 seed playing a 1 seed, you've got nothing to lose.
believe challenge deal great hard playing prepared realize require work
I realize this will require a great deal of hard work on my part, but believe that I am prepared for the challenge of playing in the NBA.
exactly gauge good playing teams test three
That's really going to tell us how good we are. We know right now that we're a very good team. ... All three of the teams we're playing have been playing really well recently. It will be a good test and a good gauge of where exactly we're at right now.
bottom definitely focus good line playing
It's definitely going to be fun. I haven't been able to get back in a long time, but the bottom line is we're playing basketball. It's going to be good to see people, but at the same time, we need to focus on what we need to do.
basketball bunch court far focusing good happening job letting matter outside people playing thoughts throughout throw worrying year
It's just a matter of us really focusing on what we need to do and not letting other outside things throw us off track. I know we've already experienced a bunch of things throughout this year with things happening outside the court and expectations and thoughts about what people should be doing and everything. I think so far we've done a really good job of playing basketball and not worrying about all that other stuff.
almost guess guy hard hit playing post runs score year
It?s almost like playing a wing. He runs around a whole lot of screens, he can hit the 3, and I guess this year he?s been in the post a lot more. It?s hard to play a guy who can score that many ways.
aside basically bit game home playing tougher
They're on a roll, they're playing really well and it's basically going to be a home game for them. It's going to be a little bit tougher on us, but we're going to have to put everything aside and just play basketball.
four great last playing
It's great to see him playing well and great to see him playing defense, doing all the things he's been doing for the last four years.
allow couple happens physical playing poke push quick saw took
It's about time. I haven't been playing the way that I can. Once we established that we weren't going to allow them to push us around and poke us, they got a couple of quick fouls, and once that happens to you, you can't play as physical as you want. Once we saw that, we just took it to them more.
alter beat block challenge knows point somebody whether
I think at this point just about everyone knows when they come down the lane, even if they do beat the first man, there's going to be somebody there to challenge the shot. Whether they block it or just alter the shot.
force main run running tough
Just being tough and running. Those are the two main things. We?re going to have to be tough every play. We?re going to have to not let them force us out of our offense, and we?re going to have to run as much as we can, especially the big men.
figured four great job lock quick saw score somebody step three
I saw him score three or four quick buckets and I just said there's no way he can score anymore. If he does, they're going to try and take over the game. He was doing a great job out there and I just figured somebody had to step up and lock him down.
block exactly focus great job motivating realized situation stuff time worry
I think he realized the situation and that this probably wasn't the time for screaming. He did a great job of motivating us and getting us to focus on exactly what we need to do and block out all the other stuff and don't worry about the score.
ball caught game guys inside last nobody slapping soon stronger sure taken tough
Just really being stronger was important for us, and being tough on the inside. A lot of times we were able to get the ball inside in the last game but they would come in, and you've got guys slapping at the ball and everything and we were getting it taken from us. This game, we made sure as soon as we caught it we were ball-tough and that nobody could take the ball from us.
