exactly finger good hard playing
We're just not playing very good basketball. It's hard to put a finger on exactly what it is.
advantage against build character game great hard loss mistakes opportunity san tomorrow
It's hard to really build on this one. We have a big character game tomorrow against San Antonio, another great team, off a loss like this. But it is an opportunity to make up for the mistakes we made tonight, and we have to take advantage of that.
change hard key quick stopping teams
Teams key in stopping Jermaine when they come into the game, but things change a lot when he's not in the lineup. It's hard for them to make quick adjustments like that.
certainly halftime hard lead past played problem quarter teams third
I've played on teams in the past where we had a really hard problem in the third quarter. We would come out and have a big lead at halftime and in the third quarter we would give it right back. I don't think it's a personality-type thing as a team to come out that way. Certainly it's been frustrating to play from a hole.
ball break chances character feed game hard hurt offensive san tomorrow turn
We had chances early, but they hurt us on the offensive boards. They get out on the break and we feed that when we turn the ball over like we did.' It's hard to get anything out of a game like this. We've got a big character game tomorrow in San Antonio.
couple figure games good hard together
I don't feel like we're right and it's hard to say why. It's frustrating. We need to put together a couple good games to get back on track. We need to figure it out and do it quickly.
athletics finding good half job struggles team ways
We got up by 11; I don't know if we got comfortable or what. We're finding a lot of different ways to lose. We had some turnovers and they are a team that struggles in the half court. If you let them use their athleticism . . . they are pretty good. They did a good job of getting out and running.
corner identity infancy longer ourselves period success time trying turned
We're still in a building/rebuilding stage. We're still trying to find an identity as a team. We've had success in doing that so far, but it's kind of in it's infancy stages. I think we need to do the things we've been doing for a longer period of time before you can really say we've turned a corner and established ourselves without him.
early guys man move next opportunity preaching selfish team trying
I think early on guys were trying to feel each other out trying to move the ball. I don't think we have a selfish team by any means, but we have guys that are confident, that feel like they can take their man at times. I think one of the things we have been preaching early on is that the next man can take his man, too. If there's a better opportunity we have to move the ball.
anywhere capable fly good great learn near win
I think it wasn't anywhere near what we're capable of, but I think it's still good enough to win. As long as we can learn on the fly and still win games, that will be great for us in the long run.
becomes cost error execute game half margin missing opened
When you're missing people, your margin of error becomes much smaller. You have to execute things a lot better. We had a lot of turnovers in the first half that really cost us and opened up the game for them.
basketball fun playing
With the way things have been, we don't want to get too excited. It's fun to be playing basketball now. It wasn't there for a while.
error execute level margin talent
With the talent level we have right now, our margin of error is small. We can't get away with the same things we could have when our talent level was that much higher. We need to execute things better to make up for the talent we don't have.
dug
We never dug down, we never made a stand, we can't just show up.
