beat came far fourth quarters third ways
I think we were embarrassed in that first half. They outplayed us in every way. They beat us in all ways that you could. We came out and competed in the third and fourth quarters but were just too far down.
finish free line reputation team throw
We can't get a reputation for being a team that can't get to the free throw line and can't finish games.
game second trim
We had 22 turnovers in our first game and 17 in our second and we have to trim that back to 15 or 13,
great learn locker team
We just have to learn from this, because that's a great team over in that locker room.
calls driving guys hands
To me, that's it in a nutshell. He doesn't get any calls . When he's driving to the basket, guys have their hands all over him, and there's nothing called. It doesn't make sense.
figure plays
We just have to figure out how to make plays at the end.
defend figure improve mediocre rebound teams time until
Until we figure out that we're not going to outscore teams all the time and that we'll have to defend and rebound before we think about scoring, we're going to be a mediocre team. That's something we're going to have to improve on this summer.
cherish close moment people stay teach team together usual
Times like these teach us to cherish every moment we have and be more appreciative of the people in our lives. That's why I think it's important for our team to stay close together right now. We need to huddle around each other a little more than usual right now.
exhausted figure fought ourselves struggled trying
We fought back and exhausted ourselves trying to get back in the game. We've got to figure out how to play back-to-back (games). We've struggled with that all year.
defended last needed proper sets stop until
We defended it right up until the end. I think we made proper switches on their last sets and we were able to get the stop when we needed it.
character coming created found fourth guys number overcome problems step tremendous
We showed a lot of character coming back from 12 down. I thought Iverson was tremendous tonight. He created so many problems for us, but I like that we found a way to overcome that and get the win. We had a number of guys step up in the fourth quarter.
credit fighting games
We haven't had games like this where we're not even in the game. Give Philadelphia credit because they're fighting for something (playoffs). That's where I want to be with this team.
against close couple far free games gone good hat kids road tip tonight
We have had a couple good road wins, but this is by far the best. Our young kids did it tonight and you need to tip your hat to them. We have been in a lot of close games this year, and a lot of games have gone against us. Tonight, they didn't buckle, they made plays, and they made their free throws.
close games plays refused
We have had a lot of close games that we just didn't make plays down the stretch, but we refused to lose tonight.
