accomplish along basketball biggest chance continue everybody feels finish finishing good guys impetus key next nice note positive season team themselves work
I've said all along that the key thing is that we finish up this season on a positive note so that these guys feel good about themselves and feel good about what we can accomplish next year. That's the biggest impetus and with the way we're finishing up, I think everybody feels the same way, that this team has a chance to be a real nice basketball team if we continue to work at it.
basketball expect half kicked respect team win
It was an embarrassing performance. We didn't come out, we didn't play hard, we didn't give this team any respect and we got our butts kicked in the process. You can't play one half of basketball and expect to win a basketball game.
basketball bit defense force goes good light maybe realize share situations together
Sometimes the light goes on a little bit later. Maybe this is one of those situations where we just realize if we play together and share the basketball and play good defense and force some turnovers and get out and run, we can be pretty good.
basketball created easier ford front kinds scoring wherever
We couldn't keep T.J. Ford in front of us. He just went wherever he wanted to go with the basketball and created all kinds of scoring opportunities. If it wasn't for him, it would have been a much easier game.
ability basketball created danger easier ford front kinds milwaukee needed scoring shooting team tonight wherever
Well, we made it interesting. A lot more interesting than we needed to after being up by 20. That's the danger of the Milwaukee team is their three-point shooting ability and tonight we just couldn't keep T.J. Ford in front of us. He just went wherever he wanted to go with the basketball and created all kinds of scoring opportunities for their team. If it wasn't for him, I think it would have been a much easier game.
basketball cost execute floor last offensive
We didn't execute on our last two offensive possessions down the floor and it cost us the basketball game.
basketball best five half might missed open took
I don't think it was because they missed open shots. Defensively, it might have been our best half of basketball all year. And it took all five guys.
basketball call games trend whether
I don't know whether you can call it a trend or not. But it's two games now where we've been better with the basketball offensively.
ball basketball care felt moving second
What was discouraging to me was our turnovers in the second half. We felt like all we had to do was take care of the ball and keep moving the basketball and we'd be all right, but we got a little impatient.
basketball becoming collection guys hard rather rewarding stage step team
This was a big step for us. I think we're becoming a basketball team rather than a collection of individuals. To me it's very rewarding to see how, at this stage of the season, how hard these guys are playing.
against basket bit few guys himself learning power tried
That's part of his learning curve, when he's going against guys like that inside. I thought there were a few where he could have tried to power himself to the basket a little bit more.
basketball best half might year
It might have been our best half of basketball defensively all year long.
basketball bearing commitment games next training win year
What we did this year has no bearing on how many games we win next year. There has to be a commitment in the off-season to get better, and there has to be a commitment when we come back to training camp. If we make that commitment, then we'll be a better basketball team.
aggressive basketball control creating driving played steve time
Steve has played under control and yet at the same time has been aggressive at driving the basketball and creating opportunities. He's really played well lately.
