offensive rebounds second
He's a big guy. We let him get too many offensive rebounds in the second half.
fatigue played question role
There's no question fatigue has played a role in our sluggishness.
constantly extreme few uncharted
It's constantly in the back of my mind. Fortunately, there are very few of us who've been in this situation, but I think the only way to go about this is with extreme caution. It's uncharted waters.
earned passion played rest team
He earned my respect. He played with more passion that the rest of the team combined.
crossed knows major point
It's to the point where he knows it's not going to go (out), so he's crossed a major hurdle. He's just going to get better every day.
checked good guys knew minute opposed record respected teammate weight
I put a lot of weight into being a good teammate as opposed to talent. From the minute he got here, he didn't big-time anybody. He got online. Checked out our team, knew our roster, knew our record and did a little research. I think guys respected that.
fall good knew positive shoot
I was completely positive at halftime. I knew we were too good to shoot 25 percent. We just had to keep working and I knew things would fall into place.
dominance home
We need to re-establish the kind of dominance at home that we've lost.
attacked basket bonus night third
We only got into the bonus once, at the end of the third quarter. They called 26 fouls on us and 16 on them. We attacked the basket all night and were not rewarded.
proven win
We've proven we can win on the road, now we have to prove we can win at home.
although defend five four mix none pick roll seemed ways work
We have four or five ways to defend their pick and roll ? although none of them seemed to work the other night. We'll try to mix it up and try to make is so they don't even get into their pick and roll.
trouble
We're soft. If we don't toughen up, we're in a lot of trouble.
