game happens opponent playoff time tough week whatever win worry
It?s going to be a tough week because it?s going to be a playoff atmosphere. It?s important for us to try to win one game at a time and just concentrate on that. Whatever opponent we have to play, just worry about those guys. And then worry about whatever happens after that.
believe confidence focus forward helps looking playing tough
It's going to be hard. But I think that when we are in tough environments, it helps us focus more and it helps us concentrate. We're looking forward to it. We are playing with a lot of confidence right now and we believe in each other more than ever.
enjoy holiday win
It's frustrating, because we wanted to go to the holiday with a win and unfortunately we couldn't do that. We have to get it out of our system, enjoy the holiday, and come back to work.
basketball defense easy good obviously playing win
Its easy to say that because we have been winning. Obviously we have been playing good enough defense to win basketball games, but we still need to get better.
ability approach game happen john learning physical trying
It's just learning the game more. Just trying to approach it in a John Stockton-type of way, to where you don't play so much with your physical ability all the time. You have to think the game out a lot more. That's where I'm a lot better. I know the game a lot more. I see things before they happen a lot.
bad message sends suit teacher
It sends a bad message to kids. If you don't have a suit when you go to school, is the teacher going to think you're a bad kid?
groove type
It's a big disappointment. They just jumped on us. Once we started to get into any type of groove offensively or defensively, it was too late.
chance giving needed night ourselves playing positive putting score stop team
It was a team effort. We did everything that we needed for the win. You can't put it on one thing. We've been doing a lot of things well. We're playing well together. We're defending. We're doing a lot of positive things out there. We're putting ourselves in a (position) to win. We're giving ourselves a chance every night, just playing well defensively. We feel like every night we can score 100 points, but we've got to stop people.
blesses fulfilling god obviously opportunity second shot time
I want to play. Obviously we didn't get it done the first time I was a part of that team. If God blesses me with another opportunity to try it, it would be an honor. I would have a second shot at fulfilling one of my goals.
bring energy hungry needed obviously win
They are hungry and they needed to win desperately, so obviously they are going to bring energy and effort.
They want us to get down. I'm going to get down.
figured finishing focused game gonna good home job ours playing struggling team win year
It was important. We know they were a team that's been struggling all year and we just wanted to get this win tonight. Being that we got the one on their home court, we figured they were gonna try to come in and win one on ours and we did a good job of being focused and playing the game and finishing it out.
game giving good struggling win
It's a big win for us...just because we've been struggling to win a game after a game. You feel good about not giving up one after we win one.
basket both good men
I told him before the play that if both men went to me, to go to the basket and get a good shot. Things didn't go the way we wanted tonight.
