couple last needed playoff pushing win
We needed it. Leavitt was pushing us for one of the last couple of playoff spots. It was big for us to win on their floor.
expected people
We really didn't play all that well. But we are 4-2 and I don't think too many people expected that. We just have to get better defensively.
literally living oil people
You'd see oil wells in people's back yards. People were literally living in the oil fields.
again against care game job lead offensive ourselves selection shot worry
We just have to take care of ourselves and not worry about them too much. Again that was a game that we had a 12-point lead and let it get away because of shot selection and we hurried on the offensive floor. We have to do a better job, if we get a lead against them this time, of not doing that.
bottom court game leaders step won
We've got to have some leaders step up. We're just not communicating on the court and we should have won the game in regulation. Bottom line.
anger competitor controlled sorry true
We had better be angry. We can't feel sorry for ourselves. We have to do it like a true competitor and be angry, but be in a controlled anger where we want to get better.
emotions intensity match physical toughness
We?re going to have to go down there and really focus. We have to match their toughness and their intensity level. And do it the right way. It will be physical and we have to keep our emotions in check.
