finish
When I feel like we need defense, then I'll go to Earl to finish games.
defensive finishing miss sets talked
I thought that we just couldn't keep them off the boards. We talked about finishing our defensive sets and we'd get them to miss and then they'd get the rebound.
court defensive finished front good great kept needed team win
We sorely needed to win a game. That was a team win. I thought we really got a lot of good performances from a lot of people. We got stops, we're not a great defensive team but the team we had on the court at the end did what they needed to get the stops. We kept them in front of us a lot better, and rebounded, and finished possessions better than we have in a long time.
bob fired gone group losing question since wears week
What this group has gone through since Jan. 4 (the day Bob Weiss was fired as coach), they need another week after the All-Star break. The losing wears on you. They need the break, there is no question about it.

What this group has been through since Jan. 4, they need another week after the All-Star break. I'm sure they're tired. They need a break, there's no question about it.

We're fighting for a spot in the kids' hearts. We win some and lose some. We'll regroup, go back to the drawing board and see what we can do.

We have no depth to play him, so we're just going to try to give him different looks. He's just so big, there are only certain things you can do.

We're good enough to be a playoff team with those two, no doubt about it in my mind. We're a different team with them. We're fast. We run and get out on the break. ... The entire climate has changed.
good work
We decided, there at the end, to just use it to work on some things. So we got some good out of it.
bad behind fall fight knew mystery playing problem quarter third
We have a problem playing in the third quarter and that showed tonight. We just fall behind and have to find a way to fight back into it. If I knew why we were a bad third-quarter team, I would make those changes. It's a mystery to me.
fought game guys handle ourselves position spread win
Our big guys couldn't handle Kaman and Brand. I thought we fought and got ourselves back in position to win the game. But we let them back in the game when we could have put them away. Not for the game, but for the spread at halftime.
coach concerned dying five four game interest level loyal
Our coach was concerned that the interest level was dying down. We had about four or five loyal guys, but you can't play a game with four or five guys.
best
Like I told them many times and we did it (Wednesday) night, you've got to play with who's available. We'll make the best of the situation.
feels night proud
It feels really good. I'm really proud of (the team) and they responded from day one. ... It's really important that we get better every night and we did tonight.
