environment felt fun game playing team trying
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.
basketball great playing relaxed year
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.
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.
bad defense gotten playing turn
We aren't playing defense and we aren't rebounding the basketball. This has gotten off to a bad start, but we have to find a way to turn it around.
against ahead easy fighting games playing relaxed team tough week won
We have a tough week ahead of us and to get those games out of the way was important. It was easy for us to go up against a team that hasn't even won 20 games. They are playing relaxed and we are fighting to get into the playoffs.
believe confidence forward looking playing playoffs trying
We are playing with a lot of confidence right now and we believe in each other more than ever. We are looking forward to trying to get in the playoffs and make something happen.
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.
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.
basketball fingers group hard playing pointing seem win
I'm not pointing fingers at anybody, but as a group we're not playing hard enough to win basketball games. We don't seem hungry. We don't seem like we want to make it to the playoffs.
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.
against next playing putting strong teammate
You have to be a strong teammate when you're playing with me. And I have to be strong myself because of the controversy, just putting me against my team one second, and then putting my team against me the next second.
playing positive
You can't just put it on one thing. We have been doing a lot of things well. We are playing well together, we are defending, we are doing a lot of positive things out there.
doctors fall kept playing rest
It probably was a fall and it swelled up on me. I kept playing on it. ... My doctors just said rest it as much as possible.
giving great guys players playing realize season today
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.
