center city criteria exhaustive facilities facility fantastic oklahoma possible tour
We did an exhaustive tour of all the possible facilities in the Oklahoma City region, and the Sawyer Center is a fantastic facility that exceeds all of the criteria that we had.
city fans guys half home love next oklahoma prefer stay won
I would love to play here. I would love to stay here and play in Oklahoma City next year. I think our guys are at home here. I think the fans have been unbelievable. Out of our 12 home wins, I think the fans out there have won half of them. So, I would prefer to stay here next year.
bit city exactly pressure quickly until wondering
I don't think you can let it go until you know exactly what's going on. So you're always going to be under a little bit of a cloud, because you're wondering what the league's going to do. You're still wondering in New Orleans, how quickly can the city rebuild? There's still a lot of pressure that a lot of us have.
city feeling forward looking losing orleans people sure together trying worry
I think you've always got to worry about that. I'm sure the people in New Orleans are feeling that we're losing our team, so to speak. Like we keep saying, we're just trying to make sure that everything here is going well. When the city is back together and ready, we're looking forward to going back there and playing.
chance city days fact felt few game guilty guys katrina last left
Just the fact that all of those guys had a chance to be here for a few days and get around the city and see some of the devastation that Katrina left made them feel a little guilty. I think the guys felt a little guilty after the last game that they had to come in and give a better effort.
appreciate city oklahoma showing
I think it's cool. I think it's just a way of showing Oklahoma City how much we appreciate them for all they've done for us this season.
behind city difference fans fantastic oklahoma people run supported testament
The fans are fantastic and they give us support. That really makes a difference to the players. We know that if we make a run they are going to be behind us. It's a testament to Oklahoma City and the people here, the way they have come out and supported us.
call days five next passing practice wishing
We just stunk. We got tentative, we were passing up shots. It's what we call just getting tight. The next five days of practice are going to be hell. By the end, they're going to be wishing they had a game.
defensive resistance team trade
We just had no resistance on the defensive end tonight. You can't trade baskets or think that you are going to outscore a team like the Wizards.
against behind bottom careful coming game good ready team teams
We weren't ready to play, bottom line. We're a young team and we lacked to play a good game against a very good team in Indiana. We can't do that coming off the All-Star break. We have to be careful with other teams right behind us in our conference.
against bottom game good ready team
We weren't ready to play, bottom line. We're a young team and we just lacked to play a game against a very good team in Indiana.
guys neither push
What that does to us is slows us down because neither one of those guys really want to push the ball. We need Speedy back in there so we can keep that up-tempo game.
contested forced jump rebound shots
We got stops, we forced them into some contested jump shots and we were able to rebound the ball. We just did what we do best, and that's try to get up and down the floor. That's how we play basketball.
guy main missed played
We got our main guy back and he played like he hadn't missed a beat.
