ball break continuing far great guys job likes move offense poised run staying team tough
We all know this team likes to get on the break and play freely. And we wanted to defensively make it tough for those guys and make them run a set offense and move the ball a little bit. We did a great job as far as staying poised and continuing to play ball.
definitely oh playoffs run win
Oh yeah, ... Playoffs for sure. We could definitely make a lot of noise. We could make a run to win it all.
comfort guys hit job missing open ourselves runs showing stopping team trying worried
We have to give a better showing than that, ... I'm not worried about the offense. We know we can score. Give them credit, they hit some open shots, but we have to do a better job of getting a team out of their comfort zone, stopping their runs early. I know we were missing some guys and we're still trying to find ourselves but we have to play better than that.
close good job nice poised running seemed staying stop time
We would get down, find a way to get close or take the lead, and they'd come on a nice big run. Those are the things you have to stop on the road. Every time it seemed that we got over the hump, they did a good job of staying poised and running their offense.

chance early figure good guy high pressure taken trying
I'm just trying to figure out how in the world this guy wasn't taken in the first round. He doesn't play like a guy who is right out of high school. It's too early to tell and you don't want to put a lot of pressure on a young guy but I think he has a chance to be a very good player.
couple direction everybody games lose playing pressure quality six win
It's six games, and pretty much everybody we're playing is a quality team. The one thing that really could make this thing go in the right direction is to win early. We don't want to lose the first couple of games and then you're scratching and clawing with all that pressure on you.
downhill knows season
Everyone pretty much knows that the season is all downhill after the break. So this is real important for us.

I want to make it. Don't get me wrong; my loyalties are with this team and doing everything I can do to make this team better. But I'd be lying to you if I said I didn't want to make it. I'm staying positive about the whole situation. My job is to get as many wins as possible, and hopefully that will help out in the process.

I wanted them to learn about the difference experiences that I went through, and the different things that go on in my life
