We need everyone playing very well, we need everyone chipping in something and making a contribution for us to win games like that.
You are begging for trouble when you give up 3-on-2s and 2-on-1s to a speedy team like this.
You are begging for trouble when you give up three on two (breaks) and two on one (breaks) to a speedy team like this.
We've had injuries before, but we have to play through them.

We all know we have to win a lot more games. This is certainly a start.
We all want to compete for a championship. We all know that the real season starts next week.
