character coach offense rushing stick
We were rushing things. We were doing a lot of things that were out of character. Coach showed us films. He showed us that our offense works. Obviously, we know that. We just have to stick with it.
coach gets involved
Coach is a player's coach, ... He gets real involved in what's going on, so I had to give him a little high-five.
adversity character coach early face good great guys job people prepared revealed rotation stepped team
I think the character of this team has already been revealed in the face of adversity. Early on, when a lot of people were writing us off, I think we bounced back. Coach did a great job of getting the right guys out there, the rotation was good and we stepped up. Now this is another challenge. We've got to step up. It's a must that we go .500 or better, and I think we are prepared to do that.
coaches game
Our coaches had us prepared. But when the game started, we did everything they told us not to do.
asked bench coach felt injury needed obviously opportunity stretch win
If Coach needed me to come off the bench to be successful, I was going to do that. Obviously we went through a stretch in which we didn't win games, and with the injury to Jarvis Hayes, he told me I had the opportunity to start. He asked me how I felt about it, and I said, 'If the team's going to be better with me starting, I'll all for it.' And we've been good. We're 3-1.
tough
We just wanted to make things tough for him.
however
We will take them however we can get them.
winning
Right now we're winning games. That's all that matters.
beating coming confidence couple earlier felt game gave home season win
Beating them earlier in the season at home gave us confidence coming into the game tonight. We felt like we were only a couple of possessions away from getting a win tonight.
challenge forward guys key ours time
This time all their key guys are going to be out there, but ours are, too. That's a challenge we look forward to.
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.
We have to play with the same tenacity. Nothing changes.
We need an almost-perfect game. Ain't that right, L.O.?
basketball win
We've got to have it. Anyway, anyhow. We're going to win this basketball game.
