came compete felt five hurt last minutes seems six team three
I thought we came out better than we have the last five or six games. It just seems like in the last two or three minutes of each quarter, they hurt us. The Spurs are a championship team and they can really buckle down on you defensively during those stretches. The one thing I want more than anything right now is to compete and I felt like we did that tonight.
acted blew bottom came quarter third
We didn't play like we wanted to win. We came out in the third quarter and acted like we were up 20. We blew it, that's the bottom line.
acted came game gets league light quarter rarely switch third turn walking
We came out in the third quarter and acted like we were walking in the park. Then as the game gets tight, we try to turn that light switch back on. Very rarely in this league are you going to be able to do that.
came easy mentally team
We came out here and thought it was going to be an easy night. That's when a team has to know they mentally have to go after it even more.
advantage came capable emotion half intensity second soft took whatever
We didn't come out with any fire, any emotion or any intensity and they took advantage of it. We came out very lackadaisical. We just didn't play the second half the way we are capable of playing. We were soft and they did whatever they wanted.
bad came effort flat guys quarter third tried urge urgency
I tried to urge our guys to come out in the third quarter with some urgency and try to get something going, we came out as flat as we did in the first half. It's just a very bad effort on our part.
came month
It made all the difference. He would have been a month behind, but he came in every day and made a lot of progress.
blocking came great heck job quarter second space taking
Deke came in the second quarter and did a heck of a job. He was doing a great job of blocking shots, taking up space and that?s what we needed.
bench came deep defense extended guy loved minutes played
We can go 10 deep very easily. Speedy is a guy that can play extended minutes for us off the bench and give us a boost. I loved the way he came out and got after it on defense and played hard.
came double great knew needed obviously sooner tonight triple
He's just a great little player. He's got a lot of heart. We knew the triple double would come sooner than later, but obviously tonight we really needed it. I thought he really came through big time.
came effort passion whatever
I just thought we were terrible. Offensively, defensively, effort wise. I just didn't think we came out with any passion tonight, for whatever reason.
athletics basketball bring extremely fit jumps runs
We're excited. We bring in another athlete, a 7-foot athlete, 24 years old who runs and jumps and does a lot of the things that we want here. I think he'll fit in extremely well.
both ends floor fourth glaring good holes mentally quarter team tough win
We're just not a very good team right now. There are a lot of glaring holes at both ends of the floor for us. We are having opportunities to win in the fourth quarter but are not mentally tough enough to get the stops.
basketball biggest both ends glaring good holes team weak
We're just not a very good basketball team right now. To me, we have a lot of glaring holes on both ends of the floor. The biggest thing is that we're so weak mentally.
