We did a pretty solid job on defense. We got in the passing lanes, got some steals.
When our guys are getting shots like that, we love 'em. ... But every once in a while, I tell them I'm still there.
Now we've got the pressure on them, down two games. Now we've got to go into Arco and really get this first one. That puts the ultimate pressure -- elimination -- on people.
Nobody said this would be easy. Everybody said the opposite.
There's no excuses to be made. We lost the game.
It was a huge key. He really hurt us last time. We decided to come after him and make them change their game a little bit.
They approached us with the problem, and we fixed it. We dont see any of that as a breach of contract.
I've learned the following season is always tougher. We always get everybody's best game. But understanding that collectively is a whole different thing. It's not like we can go out there and say we are what we are and walk through the season.
I've already gotten a bunch, so I'm hoping it will clear up a bit.
Defensively, I thought we were pretty solid. Our game plan was there, but it?s just about putting some balls in the hole.
They have a solid team. Elton is having a heck of a year. He hurt us last time, so we decided to come after him. We made it difficult for him tonight.
We did it last year and it was fun. We got up and down. I think we had less turnovers than any other time in the game.
We know what we have left, and we just have to kind of get it done. We still have a chance to end up with one of our best seasons yet, so we just have to turn that corner and get back on a roll before the playoffs come around.
We're hitting a stride - I don't know if it's THE stride. We go through lulls. It's about recovery. It's about making adjustments on the fly.
