basketball care good playing solid
If you don't feel good about yourself, you're not going to play good basketball. I don't care who you are. We've accomplished what we wanted by playing solid basketball in April. At the end of the day, it's about what you do; if you execute.
bunch finally guys
It was awesome. We've had a bunch of guys get real close, but to see him finally get it done is great.
bizarre leave
It was a bizarre game. I'll leave it at that.
good playing
We feel good about where we are right now. We feel we're playing good basketball.
amount coaching credit game people realize staff time win
The amount of preparation and the amount of time you put in just to win one game is unbelievable. I don't think most people realize that. That's where I give our coaching staff a lot of credit. They put in the time, and we're always prepared. They should get a lot of credit on that front.
behind best complete fun glad mike player rewarded second together watch
Mike has consistently been our second best player behind Pau. He has been fun to watch and fun to play with. He put together a complete season, and I?m glad he got rewarded for it.
best execution half maturity second
We showed our maturity. We didn't play our best first half and yet we were up a point. We executed better in the second half. Execution is about making plays.
against execution played playoff sharp team
We played a team (Tuesday) that really wasn't sharp in their execution, and if we can do that against the playoff teams, then we'll be a lot more excited.
