break
It's not going to make or break our season.
good helps
He's having a good season, doing a lot for that team. He helps make them go.
guy team total
It is not just one guy that can (turn things around). It has to be a total team effort.
guys loaded missed three tried
That was the play we called; I just missed the shot. It was a play we tried to get going to the basket, but they had like two or three guys loaded up over there and all the guys were covered, so I put it up.
ball guys missed normally shots took turned
Guys turned the ball over, and that kind of took us out of it. We had point-blank shots that we missed that we normally make.
basketball send study
I study basketball a lot, so things like that are significant to me. I'll keep that ball, send it to my house.
ask opponent questions serious time
My opponent has only said that he would ask serious questions of the president. The time for questioning is over.
boo city people wrong
People just want something to boo about. I did nothing wrong to the city at all.
ball considered defend difficult explosive face great hand love player shot time
Don't get me wrong, I love Gil's game, but if I shot the ball every time down on offense, I'd be considered explosive as well. He's a great player so you have to get a hand in his face and you have to make him defend on the other end of the court. We made it difficult for him tonight.
game hard
It was a competitive game and sometimes you get hard fouls.
games waiting guy
You don't wait 30 minutes before a game to tell a guy he's traded.
defense definitely shots took tough
It took him 30 shots to get 37 points. I don't think the defense was that bad, but he definitely made some tough shots.
against compete guys help looking played themselves work
I just think when you have guys who've played ... things will work themselves out. We're not looking to try to compete against each other. I think we can help each other because we pretty much know each other's game.
advantage fourth guys hands open takes
The ball's pretty much in his hands in the fourth quarter. And he takes advantage of the opportunities -- getting guys open or even getting his own shot.
