effort happening leadership needs responsibility step stop taking team
This team needs to step up and find some leadership and stop doing these things. It's not coaching; it's effort and taking responsibility for what's happening on the court.
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.
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.
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.
gamble guys passing players size teams type veteran
Teams that don't have the size or the established type veteran players make up for it with the energy, and those guys play the passing lanes and gamble and go for steals.
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.
ball basketball fun good great lose shared
We didn't play great defense, but we shared the ball a lot. Right now, it's fun to play basketball. It's fun to be out there. It was disappointing to lose the big lead, but it's a win, and that's good enough right now.
basketball best closer couple definitely playing weeks
We're not playing our best basketball of the year, but we're definitely closer than we were a couple weeks ago.
credit driving fred gets helping scoring stepped third
You have to give a lot of credit to Fred because of the way he's stepped up into that third scoring option. He's doing it with perimeter driving and slashing and it's really helping Jermaine out when he gets doubled in the post.
game lose people playing seven step upset victory
When you lose seven out of eight, many people are upset with many things. One game or victory like this doesn't make up for the way we have been playing in the past. This is a step in the right direction.
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.
capable change eight five game lost next previous shows
One game doesn't make up for having lost (seven of the previous eight games). But it shows what we're capable of, and if we do things the right way, things can change in these next five games.
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.
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.
