We can score on anybody. But we have to focus on defense. They were just outworking us. Everybody has to step up, period, for us to be a better team.
If we don't have Willie it's going to hurt us. But we have so many guys ready to step up.
We knew we were going to be short-handed, being that Chris wasn't playing, and other guys stepped up and played big for us.
Last night they kind of took me out of the game defensively and my teammates stepped up. Tonight was just a little different. I stepped up in the fourth quarter. We just need everyone to contribute.
Chris and myself, some nights we're going to struggle and we're not going to be able to get it done. We need other guys to step up. When you get 31 from a guy off the bench, you're supposed to win that game.
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.
