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.
art hate names
I like when people have opinions - especially about art. You can hate my art. I made my art to be hated. That's why I made the name paintings.
hate flower mean
I made work specifically for them not to like. If you made paintings of flowers and someone says they hate it, it's like, "What do you mean? It's a flower!" But if you make a painting of your name and somebody says they hate it, it's like, "Well, why would you like a painting of my name anyway?"
hate drinking espresso
I do, but I don't like doing that. I would do it out of hate or anger. I would do it because some- one was pushing my buttons, but really I don't want to break my back in some European city while everyone else is drinking espresso. I only do it because someone refused to pay for the shipping, or something like that. I don't want to let a whole city of people down.

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.

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.

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.

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.

He felt like he was held back here. He had an opportunity in Phoenix, and he's playing to his potential now.
