bring chances control effort game games moment seize win
Every game our chances are getting slimmer and slimmer. We just have to seize the moment and win games that we have control over. We've got to bring our 'A' game every night. Especially our effort, we have to have the same effort consistently every night.
bringing hands home quit start
Things are still in our own hands but we will have to start bringing it every night, especially at home where we have to quit disappointing our home fans.
bring crowd destiny disappoint problem rest
We still have our destiny in our own hands; we just have to bring it every night, especially at home. I don't know what our problem has been. We can't come and disappoint our crowd like this. For the rest of the season, we've got to show up in games.
brings kirk lose taking
Kirk is our catalyst, offensively and defensively. When you lose Kirk, you're taking a lot of intangibles, things he brings to the game.
bring crowd disappoint game problem
We just have to bring it every night, especially at home. I don't know what our problem has been, but we can't disappoint our crowd like this. We have to show up for a game like this.
brings help man shoot success
He brings a big man who can shoot from the perimeter, and that's going to help us a lot. I think he's going to be a big part of our success this year.
bench bring coming energy guys matter starting
If guys are coming off the bench or not, you've got to bring the same kind of energy every night. It shouldn't matter if you're starting or not starting.
doubt knew left time
I knew it was good. Any time I get in those situations, I just tell myself, 'I'm going to make this shot.' When it left my hand, I had no doubt it was going to go in.
bad definitely game games mistake necessary road tough win
This is definitely a game where we can win and where we'd be making a very bad mistake if we don't come out and do the necessary things to win. This is a tough road trip, and the games you can win, you definitely have to get.
nights quarter rarely
It's not a big concern. We rarely have a quarter like that. It was just one of those nights when we couldn't make a basket.
continue defensive doubt good key last maybe mind scoring team year
It's no doubt in my mind I can be a starter, but that's not my role. It wasn't our scoring that got us there. We didn't have any all-stars. It was our defensive intensity. That's the key to this team being successful. You got to continue to do that and we can be good as last year and maybe better.
time
I'm just going to take as much time as I need to heal.
found halfway people point saying season sure team tonight turning
I'm not sure what the turning point for our team was, but halfway through the season we found our identity. I know tonight people were saying we didn't have much to play for, and we could have been lackadaisical, but we don't want to have any lapses. We want to keep getting better.
easy touches
Not as many touches as I wanted. It's pretty easy to play someone who doesn't have the ball.
