ready waited
We waited too long to get into this game. In the first half, we just never got anything going. I don't know why we didn't come ready to play in this game.
ball opposite shot sums turned
We shot poorly, turned the ball over. We didn't play well. Twenty-eight turnovers and 13 assists? That's usually opposite for us. That sums it up for me. Can't say much more than that.
leave left supposed
We left him when we weren't supposed to leave him. We got off him when we weren't supposed to get off him. The things we were not going to do, we did.
five four games great stayed win
This was a great win for us. We've been struggling, injured, with four games in five nights. But we stayed with it and got it done.
ahead catch open points stayed
We had open shots, but couldn't make them. They stayed ahead about 15 points and we could never catch up.
concentration control either game lose needed quarter respond slip third
We needed to take it to them in the third quarter and not lose our concentration. I wasn't going to let them let it go. Either we respond and take control of the game or (the Nuggets) were going to do it. I just didn't want to let it slip away.
both concentration ends wanders
We get these lulls where we our concentration wanders at both ends of the court.
score shots took work
We made him work, he took 20 shots to score 15 points.
brad execute feed guys kept plays tried
We did what we wanted to do. You've got to execute down the stretch, you've got to get stops. We couldn't get a stop, but we kept scoring. We tried to put it in Brad and Mike's hands, let them make plays and the other guys feed off of them.
break caught definitely game hard last night
We definitely caught a break after they had such a hard game last night. It wasn't pretty, but I'll take it.
attention build catch control destiny energy golden guys hopefully past paying seven state teams trying
We still control our own destiny and teams still have to catch us. In the past seven games, we haven't been paying attention to detail. Guys were trying to do it themselves. We wanted to come out with a different energy and we showed it tonight. Hopefully we can build off this, but we'll find out at Golden State (on Friday).
ball chris great played shots
(Webber) rebounded the ball well. Chris is always going to make shots because he has a great feel for the game. I thought he played well.
game simple win
We got to win that game. Simple as that.
games road win
We're going to have to win some games on the road if we're going to get in the playoffs.
