hopes playing time turn week
The time is now. We have to do it now, or in a week or two we could be out of it and not playing for anything. If we have any hopes of being in the playoffs, we have to turn it around.
loose
They all got loose on us in the fourth.
energy game heads maybe played playing second tough
Something went off in our heads -- maybe we were playing not to get embarrassed. If we started the game the way we played the second half, we're going to be tough to beat. We have to come out with more energy and focus.
offense problem
Defensively, we weren't there tonight. We couldn't get any stops. I don't know what happened, but offense wasn't our problem tonight.
close defensive good nowhere supposed
Defensively, we were nowhere close to being good enough. That's what we're supposed to be?a defensive team. We just didn't have it tonight.
breaks foul hard picking rhythm silly team
The big thing is, it kind of breaks up our rhythm a little bit. We try to play it a little more up-tempo and then, just every time, we're picking up the silly foul or the other team is getting to the free-throw line. It makes it hard to play.
ability carry special
That's what makes him a special player. He has the ability to carry us if we need it.
bit good
As a team, I think we did a pretty good job. We just have to do a little bit better.
believe blowing coming early games last loss night
They were coming off a big loss last night and we had them on the ropes early in the game. But that's been our M.O. this year. We've got to believe in ourselves. We can't keep blowing opportunities to win games like tonight's.
advantage chances forever looking outside position seems
We've been in this position it seems like forever now. We're on the outside looking in. We've had our chances and just haven't been able to take advantage of it.
knew madison square
We know we had Madison Square Gordon, so we knew we were in the driver's seat.
month start
We know how big this month is for us. This just isn't the way to start it off.
guys hear love stories
I would hear about all the stories in Phoenix. Some guys said Scott's real hard. Some guys said you're going to love Scott. I didn't know what to expect.
front home nice turn
We have to turn it around and it'll be nice to be at home in front of our fans. We'll have a lot of energy.
