bleed gold purple
I'll always bleed purple and gold, but I'm not going to give up any wins.
bunch calls teams
We got a bunch of calls about him in the summer. I think teams know better than to call us about him right now.
bring energy establish game great guys type
We want to establish some type of a home-court advantage. We've got a great crowd, so we've got to bring an energy and a physicality to the game that we haven't been bringing, and all our guys know that right now.
five games next ourselves win
We just have to win these next five games to give ourselves the opportunity. That's it.
game guys lead loss maybe quarter sooner third understand won
You hope, sooner or later, the young guys understand and get it. When you have a lead like that, you can't come out in the third quarter and think the game is over. Maybe a loss like this, when we know we should have won the game, that will do it.
instead minds realize teammate win
The players' minds were on their teammate instead of the game, which is understandable. I thought after a while that (his players) had to realize that we still had to win this game.
guys locker lots room simple
There are lots of guys in that locker room that just quit. It's disappointing to me. They won't be here. It's as simple as that.
best guys home positions
When you don't have one of your best players, sometimes that's what you have to do. You've got to put guys in different positions to see how they react, see how they play. Sometimes you come up with a home run, sometimes you don't.
bunch guys jumping seemed
We've got a bunch of guys jumping around and they seemed to play better after that.
giving loved
We would have loved to get a big without giving up anybody, but you've got to do what you've got to do.
confident member offensive run san sets team
We run the same offensive sets with Speedy. He was a member of a championship team on San Antonio, so we're very confident in him.
confidence dead finding game ways
We keep finding ways to win. Our confidence is sky-high. You think we're dead in a game and we find a way to win.
ball care job obviously taking understanding win
We obviously have to do a better job taking care of the ball. But when you have 23 turnovers and you win the game, that's a plus. We've got to do a better job of understanding how important that ball is.
bigger gotten matter
We were real small. We've gotten bigger in a matter of minutes.
