This was a much needed win and I was very happy with the effort that the guys gave tonight. We just came out and played very hard from the beginning of the game.
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.
anybody grant hard injuries people players system together whether within
You have to play with the people you have, ... We can't use injuries, whether it's injuries to Grant or anybody else, as an excuse. We still have players here that are going to play hard and play within our system and play together as a team.
execute execution expect faith flying gate harder offensive start work
I didn't like our offensive execution at all. I didn't expect us to come flying out of the gate to start the season, but I have faith in these guys. We've got to work harder and execute better at the offensive end.
hard offensive work
He's had some opportunities. He's got to work hard to get low-post position. If we're going to play inside-out as a team, he has to play inside-out as an offensive player.
hard honest turned

competing easily encouraged extremely good guys hard played playing putting team
This is one of the hard things when you are putting guys out there in different spots. Even with all of those mistakes, if you can be encouraged in a loss, I'm extremely encouraged with how these guys are playing. They could have easily quit. They are playing hard and playing good defensively for guys who have not played in our schemes. I like the way this team is competing right now.

He picked up some fouls . . . but that is where he belongs, out there. He worked hard tonight and did a good job.

It's hard for me to talk about next year. All I really want to do is make sure we finish up this season on the right note and that's our game Wednesday night against Indiana.
control difficult points team tempo
When you get down 20 points to a team like Houston, it is difficult because of the way they can control the tempo of the game.
everybody half page
We've just got to get everybody on the same page here. It's a disappointing first half to the All-Star break.
people realize searching stop tragic
We wouldn't stop searching for them if we thought they were still alive. It's tragic but most people would realize that we do have to be realistic.
bit dominates everybody league
With big guys, sometimes it take a a little bit longer. Not everybody comes in a Shaquille O'Neal and dominates the league right away.
easily encouraged extremely guys mistakes
With all the mistakes we made, if you can be encouraged in a loss, I am extremely encouraged with how these guys are playing. They could easily have quit.
