bit fourth knock quarter second struggling team tried
I was struggling a little bit in the second half, but then I just tried to take over in the fourth quarter and get my team going. Fortunately I was able to knock down some big shots.
matter played playing
If we keep playing with that kind of effort, we will get victories. It wasn't a matter of if they were tired, we just played real well tonight.
changed foul game trouble
Shaq getting in foul trouble really changed the game for us.
envisioned far last level playing season success trying year
Right now I'm trying to get to the level I was playing at last season when I should be at a level two times that. This year I'm struggling. So far I haven't been having the success I pretty much envisioned for myself over the summer. But I'm trying to be patient. It's all I can do. It's a long season.
consistent continue putting together
I think I'm putting together more consistent games. That's important for me right now. We need to continue to play like that.
fell floor holding hopefully jaw sensitive
It did not feel like a big hit, but the jaw is a sensitive area. He fell on the floor holding his face, hopefully he will be all right.
players
Some of the players just brain-locked out there.
foul grasp quite
I thought that I got pushed. I couldn't quite grasp the ball. I think that a foul would have been the right call.
confidence continue gain mature starting takes understand within
I think we continue to gain confidence within ourselves. We're starting to mature a little more and understand what it takes to be successful.
both flow good hopefully last offense sustain team
I think both the team and I have a good flow going on offense the last two nights. Hopefully we can sustain it.
aggressive answer asked standing trying
I think it was just a misunderstanding. I was asked why I was standing in the corner, not being aggressive and not trying to get the ball. I was just trying to answer the question.
air dagger game took
That was a dagger right there. When he made that, it was pretty much over. The game was still close, but that took all their air out of them.
afford dropping game games hard necessary playing
It is crazy. That's why every game is so important to us. You can't afford to be dropping games because we're not playing hard or we didn't come with the necessary intensity.
adjustment fad guys saw younger
I think it's going to be an adjustment for a lot of players. I saw some things about jewelry. That's a big fad for younger guys in the league.
