almost conditions living
To them, after the conditions they were living in, this was almost like a dream,
bottom rock
We've been rock bottom for a long time.
bring decided exactly happened hard reluctant team watched work
We were reluctant to (go). We went out, watched it and it did bring us together. (The team in the movie) didn't do well at the beginning, but after hard work and discipline, they decided to come together. That's exactly what happened for us.
ball defense early foul interior second shooting talk team trouble turning
We can talk all we want, but if the team is shooting 65% and we're turning the ball over and we get in early foul trouble you can't make it a high-possession game. The second half, we didn't make it a high-possession game. We don't have the interior defense right now if we do get beat. We can't play like them.
blown chance far games good last needed three win
We have been getting blown out in a lot of games because we have been getting so far behind. The last three we have had a chance to win which is a good sign. They needed that because they are trying.
few lead league points press trouble
We lead the league in turnovers. Did you see them press on us? It's every game. We have few assists and a lot of turnovers. As much as we have trouble as we have guarding people, to give up 30 points on turnovers, it's even more difficult.
drive jump shot
Trevor, ... you haven't made a jump shot yet. Drive the ball!
ball maybe ran stuff three tonight
You know, he's got the ball all the time. I ran probably as much stuff for him tonight as I have at any time. It's just one of those nights. Maybe he didn't feel like he had it. But we got three assists and no steals.
guard mind needed puts
We needed him to guard and he went back in and guarded. Like I said, when he puts his mind to it, he's an exceptional defender.
capable chances lost ready three trying understand win winning
We got to be ready to play our first game, ... We've lost three times. Again, I'm trying to tell them we had chances to win all three. So don't feel like you're not capable of winning games. And try to understand what we need to do better.
beat block create field free goal high line loose shots throw
We get beat on turnovers every night. We can't get to the free throw line as much as our opponent, we don't create turnovers or block shots (or) get loose balls. So that's the end result, we give up a lot of points, a high field goal percentage.
gave lack loose near people points terms
We gave up 35 points on turnovers and I don't think we got near a loose ball. I think most of that was effort. We can point to a lot of people in terms of lack of effort.
great help
Timmy would help anybody. It would be a great pickup.
five maybe million three
We're what, about 1.6, 1.7 million now? I think we need to be around 2 million. Maybe in three or five years we'll be ready.
