coach defense good group guys kept liked offense played playing
I think the way we played, the continuity, the offense and defense was really good. Coach kept a good group of guys on the court. We really got a feel for each other. We were playing like we played with each other before ... I liked it a lot.
everybody guys mental stepped tired
We had a lot of guys out there tired and everybody stepped up. It was more of a mental challenge.
attack definitely guys playing winning
We didn't have that sense of urgency, you can definitely say that. We didn't come out and play the way we have been playing on this winning streak. I don't think guys are getting complacent. We just didn't come out and attack right away.
beginning energy excuse guys
There's no excuse for guys not having energy at the beginning of the game.
guys took trying
Other guys had it going, so I took a back seat. I'm just trying to win.
familiar far guys settled win
We've settled in as far as who's going to be out there on the court. Guys are getting familiar with what we have to do to win games.
allowing beginning continue hard jump middle pick teams
We can't win. That's it. We've just got to continue to come out and play hard from the beginning of the game. In the middle of the game, and at the end of the game, we pick it up. We can't keep allowing teams to come out right away and get the jump on us.
court love mind tired
I was kind of tired tonight, but I play. When I get on the court that is all I do. I love basketball. Mentally, I just had to get my mind in another place.
love
Yeah, I would want to be here. I love New York. I think he would want me to be here.
coach court good shot talked time
We were a little more poised. Coach talked about us getting a shot every time down the court - a good shot. That is what he wanted us to do and we went out and did it.
What do you want me to say? We're losing. We're not winning, it's not good.
arm game knew
I didn't want to make it worse. I knew I was hurt, though, when I went back into the game and couldn't get my arm to go up without any pain.
answer far
I don't even really have an answer for you. Right now, as far as for the way we're playing, we're going backwards, we're not going forward.
continued gave punch win
We withstood their punch and we continued to fight. We never gave up. We always thought we were going to win the game.
