beginning last lost ourselves played though three tuesday
I think we played better in the last three games, ... Even though we lost Tuesday (in New Jersey) you could see the improvement. We are beginning to find ourselves and be more comfortable out there.
forward looking opportunity
Just to be able to get the opportunity to go do it is huge. I'm looking forward to the opportunity.
best found games left ourselves time
I think it's a character-building time for us on this trip. We found out a lot about ourselves ... The best thing is, there's 75 games left and we have a lot of time to get better.
build games hopefully last moral playing team win
We're not into moral victories, but as a team we're playing better, so hopefully we can build on these last two games and keep going. If we play like that every night, we're going to win some games.
fatigue seems step time trying
We can't use fatigue as an excuse. Every time we take a step forward, we take one back. It seems like we're still trying to find ourselves.
goal overall time win worry
We have to win games. We don't have time to worry about being fatigued. Our overall goal is to win.
gets knows offensive plays ready
He's a workhorse. He doesn't need plays called to him. He gets offensive rebounds. He knows where to be on penetration. I know he knows to be ready for that ball, and that's big.

problem score stops team
This team can score points. That's never been our problem. We've got to get stops when we need them. That's been our problem and something we got to get right.
believed difference early happened late left time
Yeah, it's similar, but the only difference is that happened early and we still believed there was time left in the season. It's getting late now.
battle dug fighting fourth hole playing uphill
On the road, playing back to back, you need to keep it close. You don't want to be fighting that uphill battle in the fourth quarter. We just dug our hole too deep.
backed forget mind shoot thinking
I should have just backed it out and forget about the 2-for-1 and just called a play. I don't know. You're thinking about so many things and all I had in mind was that we wanted a 2-for-1 so I was thinking shoot the ball.
definitely prove system team
The system is definitely better for us. We are a better team than before. But we have to go out there and prove it on the road. It will be a big challenge.
coming earlier heads road
Earlier in the season, our heads would have went down. For us to get through this game, especially coming off such a long road trip, showed a lot.
