It's not like defenses are out there just giving guys 50 and 60 points. You have to look at what's going on this season and realize there are just as many great players playing today as there ever has been in this game.
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.
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.
We got to stop people. We go ahead and we score 100 points every night, but we give up more. Our whole thing was, we know we can score, and we have to start having some kind of fun on the defensive end. Everybody want to play offense. Not too many people want to play defense. Defense is ego, pride, and that's the way we've been coming out, just taking the challenge. Man-on-man first, and having each other's back when a guy gets beat.
They played better offensively and we did a bad job guarding, ... We had a chance to put them away but we have been going through this the last couple of games, having leads and giving them up.
We just need everyone to contribute. We feel like this is a whole new season for us.
We just needed win - period. We're just struggling so badly right now. Then to lose this would have been bad because we played really well defensively.
We just needed it, period. Just for our sake, not as far as what everyone else is talking about. Just as competitors we just needed a game. We're struggling so badly right now. Then to lose this one would have been really bad, because we played really well defensively.
We just got whipped from the beginning of the game to the end. They were making shots, they executed well both offensively and defensively. They just played real well tonight.
We just got whipped from the beginning of the game to the end. They did everything right and we did nothing right.
We weren't ready to handle the back screens and all the cuts. They execute their plays to the fullest and get the best shot possible.
When I struggle the way I did tonight, as a team we are obviously going to struggle.
We score with the best of them. If we concentrate on defense like we do on offense, then we'll win a lot more ballgames.
The sky's the limit for him, ... He's a tough guard. He's got the best coach in the world on his side.
