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.
chance court easy games guard hard honestly played point points pressure putting rely run starting stop teams watched
To me it's like starting all over, ... If you've watched any of the games I've played at the point guard position, it's honestly hard for other teams to stop it, because I'm putting pressure on guys. We don't always have to come down and rely on getting points off a set offense. We get a chance to run up and down the court and get a lot of easy baskets.
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.

It felt terrible but I was glad I played all the way through so I didn't have to sit down and have it stiffen up. It stiffened up real bad at halftime but I managed to get through it.

It felt like it was the first game of the season. It was just fun to be back out there and be in the environment and playing with my team and trying to help.

I think he had a great camp. I think it's the first year John's playing relaxed and you can tell by what he's doing out there on the basketball court.
beat chance extra guys incentive playoffs shirts somewhere wear
Those guys had their playoffs shirts made up and wanted to wear them after the game. We didn't give them a chance to do that. We had extra incentive to beat them. Now, they have to wear them somewhere else.

I think it would have been good if we could have played all pre-season games together. It will be something we'll have to deal with, something we'll have to fight through.

I thought he played great. He played well in training camp. I'm excited about it. We played well with each other tonight.
chance definitely playoffs positive start tank
Just inconsistent. But the positive part of it all is that the season's not over. (We've) still got a chance to get into the playoffs and start a new season. For us to tank it now would be crazy. (We're) definitely not going to give up. We've got a long way to go.
