imagine
I can imagine him coaching, ... but I can't imagine him in a suit.
confuses lost problem since size small twice
I know we've lost to them twice since I've been here, and I know they lost to them twice before. It's a problem when they go small because everyone is the same size and it confuses us offensively.
option
I have the option to do it, so that's something I'm probably going to do.
fourth open
You can't say they did anything defensively on us. We had a lot of open shots. I know I did - especially in the fourth quarter.
coach decided handle pain point ready sit
It got to the point where I wasn't able to handle the pain. The coach decided I should sit out this one and try to be ready for Thursday.
blaming fourth free happens missed nights open shots throws
I missed a lot of open shots, especially in the fourth quarter. Shots were just not going in for us. Some nights it just happens like that. We can't go blaming the referees, but they shot 20 free throws more than we did.
defended last plays rely
They defended it well, but we can't rely on last plays to win.
focused key stayed stops throughout
We made key stops and key baskets and stayed focused throughout the game.
