We seem to have their number this year. They are a playoff team, so it feels good to beat them, especially that we could beat them four times.
beat best san win
We can play with the best we beat Detroit, San Antonio. We just couldn't come up with the win tonight.
beat believe counting detroit hottest jersey league lost miami people since team winning
They are just on fire. They beat Miami and Detroit so they are probably the hottest team in the league right now since New Jersey lost their winning streak. People were counting them out and I believe they can make the playoffs.
advantage beat came early knocked lead quarter third took
I think the third quarter beat us. We came out kind of flat, and they took advantage of it. Chucky Atkins knocked down some threes early and got the lead to 20 real quick.
basketball last starting ways win
I think we are (better than last year). We're starting to find ways to win basketball games.

Kyle is our work horse. We put the ball in his hands, and I think he did a great job. He left a couple up, but the boys stepped up behind him and gave him some confidence.
block game good last
I thought I had a good block when they called the foul. I wanted to be in the game at the last minute.

Joe is really a clutch performer. We knew he would give us a lift.
computer drive either pay
You can either pay someone to drive around or you can pay for a computer to scan the area.
advantage bit jump outside pressure shot shots
We shot a lot of outside jump shots and we thought we could put a little bit of pressure on their defense. On the switch-offs we had a lot of mismatches and we didn't take advantage of them.
amazing both game knew step
We knew we?d have to really step up tonight. It was an amazing game by both teams.
deal dealt drafted people pressure slump sophomore
There is probably some pressure on all of us. You don't want to have a sophomore slump and you want people to know that you were drafted for a reason. But we've all dealt with pressure before. And we'll deal with it now.
defensive glass maintain second sustain tired wore
We started hot, but couldn't maintain it. We got tired and couldn't sustain our defensive intensity. They wore us down and killed us on the glass in the second half.
felt held opportunity playing potential
He felt like he was held back here. He had an opportunity in Phoenix, and he's playing to his potential now.
