guy main missed played
We got our main guy back and he played like he hadn't missed a beat.
effort energy played
I thought (Bass) was going to go up there and at least make one. I thought he played really well tonight. There's a lot of things he still has to learn, but his energy and his effort were big for us.
bunch causes good half happens losses played understand
I don't understand it myself. That's what happens when you have a bunch of young guys. We played a good first half but it is just inexperience that causes losses like this.
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.
game mean played simple
We played like the game did not mean a thing. That was everybody, obviously, but as a team, collectively, we were awful. Simple as that.
basketball favor hard played tempo type
We played hard tonight. We had the tempo in our favor and that's the type of basketball that we want to play.
five good job last played six
We played a lot better than we have in the last five or six games. The one thing that I wanted us to do was compete, and I thought we did a pretty good job of that.
believed destroy exactly last played remember time trying understand
I told them ... 'They remember the last time they played us and they're going to try to destroy us'. I don't think they believed me, but now I think they understand exactly what I was trying to say.
defensive everybody game looked mean played resistance scared
Terrible. I thought we started off terrible, no sense of urgency, no resistance on the defensive end. We played like the game didn't mean a thing. It's not everybody obviously, but as a team, collectively, we were awful. We looked more like we were scared than anything.
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.
job letting terrible whatever
We did a terrible job of letting them get whatever they wanted in the paint. We just did a terrible job defensively for pretty much to whole game.
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.
