knowing last matter ourselves playing season situation trying
Same way we've been doing it all season ? just going out and playing with a lot of energy, knowing that it really doesn't matter who we're playing against. We're just trying to go out and win every game, just to put ourselves in a better situation than we were in last year.
gaining looked strength
I don't think he looked like he was winded at all. To me, he looked like he was gaining strength.
allowed focus good job side stayed strong
I don't think we did a good job executing. I think we stayed on the strong side a little too much and allowed them to focus in on what we were doing.
good playing shoulders team trying
He's not out there trying to take the team on his shoulders by himself. He's playing good team ball.
fall might paper plays together wait
You've just got to wait and see how it plays out. If it comes together like they put it down on paper it'll be a great. But if not, it might fall apart.
deal situation tough unless
It's different for everybody. Everybody's just different. It's just a tough situation to deal with. You don't want to play unless you're ready.
energy guys maybe night offense quality run type
It's big, especially in back-to-back, because we're going to need those guys to come (tonight) night to be ready. I think (Wednesday) was a little tune-up for them out there. Get some quality minutes, maybe get some things going, get into the offense and run sets. We're going to need that same type of energy (tonight).
early easy leading stops talked
It was mentioned. We talked about it, getting back to what we were doing early in the season, when we were getting stops and it was leading to easy baskets.
bit hoping hungry night reason step taste
I've had a little taste of success. But I think the reason I'm where I'm at, the reason I do the things I do, is because I'm always hungry for more. I feel like every night when I step out on that floor, that I can do a little bit more. I think I can do a little something extra. That's what I'm hoping for.
continue energy focus hard wasted win work
All that hard work is nothing if we don't continue to play the way we've played. Everybody's focus here is to win a championship. If we don't take that energy into the playoffs, it'd be a wasted season.
everybody healthy wish
You wish everybody would get healthy and be where they want to be and do their job.
excited overly poised stay team veteran
You've got a veteran team here and we're not going to get overly excited about (technical fouls) or anything like that. We're going to stay focused, stay poised and play our game.
kicking might react situations telling
This is one of those situations where if you don't react the way you react, there's no telling what might have happened. Years from now you'll still be kicking yourself in the butt because you didn't react.
capable couple guys losing takes teams
All it takes is for guys to come out and make a couple shots, and you find yourself on the losing end. We know what teams are capable of doing.
