team
We were a team without a personality. With Ron, we have one.
general happy sit talent
We're not going to sit back and let this continue. We're not happy about what's going on, and I know Mr. Geoff Petrie (the general manager) is not happy either. We have too much talent for this.
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.
last mentally
We're just mentally different than we were two years ago or even last season.
attack crowd game knew
We knew they were going to come out and attack us. It was the first game here. The crowd was into it.
ball pass playing struggled turned
We struggled playing the game. We didn't pass the ball very well. We turned it over. And playing on the road, you can't turn it over like we turned it over.
ball game pass playing shot struggled turned win
We struggled playing the game tonight. We didn't pass the ball well, we turned the ball over, you can't win like that. We shot the ball poorly, and our decision-making was bad.
easier fortunate kept lead shots team
They're a team that will get you lulled into their pace. We were fortunate we kept the lead and we made some shots (late). We could have made it a lot easier and that's what we have to do.
attacking basket mike nice ron worked
Ron was attacking the basket and getting (inside). Mike was good, too. They worked well together. It was a nice all-around game.
aggressive coming kevin practice shots taking
Kevin is coming out aggressive and taking the shots that are there. We see it every day, now he's just transferring it from practice to the games.
criteria league move office
I had no idea this was going to happen. But the criteria is set by the league office, and so that's the way it is. We have to move on.
frantic fueled instead pace played smarter team trying turned whatever
We played at a frantic pace instead of the way we wanted to play. We quick-shot it, we turned it over -- we just fueled whatever they were trying to do. We have to be a smarter team than that.
compete reason team
We're a different team than we were before. There's no reason we can't go out and compete in this series.
