coming front full game good guys home maybe momentum pick team
We were able to pick up a full game on the team right in front of us. I think it is important that the guys go home with a good game under their belt. Maybe we will have a little momentum coming out of the break.
game needed urgency
We were all disappointed after the game the other night, and we did not play with the urgency we needed in such a big game.
control difficult great
We'd like to have some control over (our destiny). It will be very difficult to do, because we know that we have to play great teams, but that's what we would like to happen.
definitely turned
We definitely turned (the intensity) up a notch. As a result, we stole one.
dealing difficult good job players showing talented
There are talented players over there, but from what I read, (McMillan) is still dealing with players showing up late. Those are things that are very difficult to deal with. I'm an outsider, but I think he has done a good job of it.

We pretty much got dominated all over the place.
dominated great nights question regard tonight year
We pretty much got dominated all over the place. It was a full-on rout. We've been an unpredictable group, there's no question about that. We've had an up-and-down year in regard to our focus. Some nights we look great and some nights we don't. Tonight was unfortunately a don't.
beginning dominated
We pretty much got dominated from beginning to end. Defensively, we're not getting it done.
beginning dominated
We pretty much got dominated from beginning to end. Even when it was close, it wasn't close.
anybody nba obvious order played win
We haven't played well of late. It's obvious for anybody to see. In order for us to win an NBA game, we have to play a lot better than we've been playing.
