bit coming couple halftime karl last locker longer retirement weaknesses
We didn't want to come out flat. That was one of our weaknesses over the last couple of weeks, coming out after halftime flat. With the Karl Malone retirement and everything, we were in (the locker room) a little bit longer than usual. (We had to) come out and get some buckets quick.
bit fan mentality support took
The fan support may have been a little bit better in Storrs. But we still took the mentality in Hartford that this is our court.
arrived bus cleveland
When we arrived in Cleveland (Monday) we were in the back of the bus and we said we know Gilbert is going to come out and have a big game, so it's on us. We didn't play well in the first game.
fed losing
We're fed up with this losing already. It's not something we're going to get used to.
hope achieve
He who expects not to achieve will never do so.
coaches game
Our coaches had us prepared. But when the game started, we did everything they told us not to do.
fell felt finding followed great job legs
It felt real good. I got my legs under me, I followed through, I really wanted that shot. Chucky did a great job of finding me, and it just fell a little short.
billy bleeding came eight free great left picked played quick seconds stopped wiped
I think that was real big. I was bleeding and they wiped me up real quick and stopped the bleeding for about eight seconds and I was able to get my free throws. I went back (for stitches) and Billy just came in and played great basketball. He picked it up where I left off.
earlier losses main road stop three
Our main thing was to go .500 or better (on the road trip). Now that we've got three wins, why stop now? Let's make up for some of the losses earlier in the season.
We need an almost-perfect game. Ain't that right, L.O.?
We have to play with the same tenacity. Nothing changes.
trip
Yeah, it was ugly, but we won. We'll take it, especially after the trip we just had.
challenge coming forward game great looking playing quiet road trip
It's great coming out here and getting the first game of the road trip just to keep the doubters quiet for a second. We're looking forward to the challenge of playing the Clippers. This is exciting.
effort good guys page
It was a good effort from a lot of guys who are really on the same page right now.
