adversity coach great hard hate ignore prevent stuff trying
We've had a lot of adversity, a lot of stuff said about our team. We've got to ignore that stuff. Coach is a great coach and we hate to see him go down that path. We're trying to play as hard as we can to prevent that from happening.
close joe stepped time
Every time it was close like that, Joe stepped up big.
doubling last people total win year
Doubling our win total from last year is a big accomplishment for me and for all the people who were here last year.

And they didn't look back. If we played in the third quarter like we did in the second quarter it would have been a different game.
game gets gives next prepared win
The win gets us prepared for our next game and gives us a lot of confidence.
run running seen
I've never seen them run that fast. It was like they were running from the police. It was so funny.
everybody good lost reasons sacramento together
Sacramento is a good team, but everybody is beatable on every night. It's just on how you play, and we didn't play together tonight. That's one of the reasons why we lost (Friday).
grabbed pulled
They said I grabbed the rim and pulled up to get the rebound. I was shocked.
match opportunity played took
They played off of me and I took every opportunity to take it to the basket. They really can't match up with any of us man-to-man.
coach confidence jump knows problem taking
Coach has put confidence in me. He knows I've been working on my jump shot, so he doesn't have any problem with me taking it.
defense high playing team zone
We're playing defense tremendously well. Our zone has been a high as of late. We've been playing well as a team and we're having fun. I think that's why were getting better.
hitting jump leave pay shot
When I've had to score, if they leave me open, I'm going to try to make them pay by hitting the jump shot like I did tonight.

We can play with the best we beat Detroit, San Antonio. We just couldn't come up with the win tonight.
ability athletic hard short strong win
I know that Nate is going to be really strong because he's so short and has athletic ability. It's going to be hard for me to win it again.
