I think the only thing it did was take our mind off the game.
I felt they were self-directed out there. They knew what they wanted to run. They broke down the double-teams and I didn't have to burn timeouts to explain it to them. That was satisfying to me.
It was pretty difficult to watch for a while. We collected ourselves and played. Full-court pressure is not an easy thing to do. We must have given up five or six baskets.
I think he has a level of confidence that gives him the understanding of what he can and can't do in this game. I think he's playing within the groundwork of what he's capable of doing, which is really important.
They're all big (games) for us. We have 10 home games, three road games and we feel like we have to win really a high majority of those games to finish where we have to finish if we want to go forward to gain momentum for the playoffs.
He's moved on. It's time for the fans to move on.
He looks like he's injured to me. Except for that dunk, he didn't seem to play with as much vim and vigor.
Kwame did a great job in a lot of aspects of the game.
This is really a slow go if it's a tear. What we do know is these are the type of injuries you've got to let heal, go slow with.
The home team won - everyone can go home happy.
That's what happens when a team plays with some desperation.
Most of it's about the quickness involved. Just the activity to the ball. Loose balls, tip-ins, all those little things make such a difference in a game. And that's a matter of seconds, and I think a lot of that is about energy.
It was a real disappointing defensive effort by our team. So we talked a lot about that.
I don't think I ever used the word passive, but I do think he was looking to feed his teammates. He was looking to pass first and shoot later. This game, I want him to carry the threat.
