glad rookies
He can really play. There aren't many rookies like that, and I'm glad we got one of them.
great shows
I can't say enough about what he does for our team. He handles the ball, can go to the basket, great shot, and always shows up in the big games.
basketball coach expects playing playoffs style
We want to go into the playoffs on a high, playing the style of basketball Coach expects us to play.
bit finding guys instead open patient taking threw zone
We weren't very patient early. We were going a little bit too fast. The zone really threw things out of whack. Guys were taking jumpers instead of penetrating and then finding the open guy.
badly basketball beat extra knew last motivation solid time
We knew how badly they beat us last time so there was some extra motivation to come out and just play a solid basketball game.
basketball bench kept lead overdo tough
We had that energy. We had a lead and our bench kept the lead. We didn't have to play catch-up, which is real tough to do. We had a comfortable lead and we were able to play basketball and not overdo it (or) rush.
good protect road team
We feel we're a good team and we always want to protect home, but we have to do it on the road as well.
against best compete hit late left mental mistakes open shots teams wide
We feel we can compete against the best teams in the league. But against the better teams, you can't have the mental mistakes late in the game, because that's when the better team will prevail. They hit some big shots and we left them wide open to hit some big shots.
experience games good helped poised
We got out really good and set the tone. Our experience in the big games helped a lot. We were a little more poised than they were, I think.
bring games three tough
We've had three tough games in a row. We didn't bring our 'A' game. We didn't even bring our 'B' game.
best compete everybody job poked teams whether worst
Everybody kind of has their chests poked out now. That's what we want. We want to feel like we can compete with anybody, whether it's the best teams or worst teams, and still get the job done executing.
committed everybody turned
Everybody is committed to this team. We've turned things around.
hole trying
At the end I was just trying to get to the hole and get a call. As you can see I didn't get the call. So I was just trying to concentrate and make the shot. I just wanted to be aggressive.
games goal hopefully impressive means point trying win wins
At this point in time, we are just trying to win as many games as possible. Some ugly, hopefully some impressive wins, some wins are going to be by luck. By any means it should be our goal right now.
