against beat coming defensive easy explain hard nobody playing running scoring stop time type
There's no way to explain it. We just got beat up. We're not stop-ping nobody, man. ... And if we can't stop nobody on the defensive end then it's hard to get into any type of running game, easy baskets. Every time they're scoring on us, and we're coming down and playing against a half-court set.
care coming defensive fought game offense playing trying
That's what it is all about, coming in and playing a game like it is your last. That's what we did. We fought on the defensive end, we fought trying to get rebounds, and we let the offense take care of itself.
coming gonna good guys half happening nine positive urgency
When you have a first half like that nine times out of 10 you're gonna have good lead. Guys are coming out with a sense of urgency the positive thing about that is that it's happening now.
came coach coming dizzy feeling felt good great halftime playing ready sit stopped telling worked
It was a great feeling (to sit out) because I didn't feel good at all, ... I was telling Coach when I was getting ready to go back in that I wasn't feeling that well and he just told me to come back, and fortunately everything worked out fine. I just didn't feel good. I was dizzy out there the whole game. Once I stopped playing at halftime and came back in, I just never felt right. I think I'm coming down with something.
arena biggest coming fact guys
I think the biggest part of this was the fact that we were coming into an arena where the guys were 0-7,
beat coming good hopefully
If that doesn't let us know we can beat a good team, I don't know what will. Hopefully this one will give us some confidence, coming back on the World Champs.
average ball both call certain coach coming easy finding five four guess job learning plays points season tells time together vice wants work
I guess it's just having time to play with each other and learning each other, just finding out how he wants to play and vice versa. He told me coming into the season that he wasn't doing his job if I didn't average four or five more points than I had been, and he was right because I am. ... We work together. We find out what plays we want to run. When we call plays for him, he tells me things he can do to get me an easy basket. And when a play is called for me, I let him know, if they take certain things away from me, what I can get for him. So it's just having some chemistry, being together and having a coach that understands that both of us need the ball and understands how both of us want to play.
season
We just need everyone to contribute. We feel like this is a whole new season for us.
