amongst coaches everybody group hold night players together
We got together as a group -- just a little airing out -- and let everybody say what they had to say. So everybody had a night to think about it. You kind of have these things with the coaches at times, and sometimes players can hold back and not say what they really want to say. But once you're amongst the guys, you can get everything out.
everybody harder last league past people plays record respect slow sneak surprised team
It's going to be harder than it was last year. We were able to sneak up on people last year, with our past record and our slow start. People were surprised with how we were able to play. I think this year, I think we have the respect from everybody in the league that we're going to be a team that plays hard every night. So, we're going to have to play harder.
raise trying
It's going really well. We're just trying to raise as much as possible.
focused game gave hard plan playoff team trying urgency
It's hard to explain, every game is important especially with a team we're trying to chase. For us not to have that sense of urgency like it's a playoff game it's a shame. We should've been focused and executed the game plan and just gave an all-out effort, which we didn't.
defense shots tough
It's tough when our defense is struggling, and we're also not making shots like that.
feet gets happened help others people situation until
It's very unfortunate what has happened there, ... It's up to me and others to help those people get back on their feet until the situation gets better.
expecting gives opportunity
Everyone is expecting us to lose. It just relaxes us and gives us an opportunity to go and play our game.
defense guys hurting needs tidy
Their other guys are really hurting us right now. Our defense is not really where it needs to be. We have to tidy things up.
beat definitely division good plays start team
It's definitely a good start to beat a team in our division that plays well at home.
close control games lost ourselves redeem slip
It's been frustrating. We've lost so many close games we should have won, games that we had control of and let slip away. So we have 14 games to kind of redeem ourselves and get into the playoffs.
point
It's better, but it's still not at the point where it would make sense to try and play.
control effort foul four people sees successful team three time
We've been successful because he sees three or four people every time he penetrates. So, every time he penetrates, it's going to take a team effort to control him and keep him off the foul line.
felt importance knew played relaxed
We just played our game. We knew the importance of this and we felt that they had all the pressure. We knew that we could come out, be relaxed and play our game.
bring capable coach effort full games given needs shows sustaining
Tonight, we really showed what we're capable of. It shows that we haven't given our full effort all year. Some games we bring it and some we don't. Sustaining that effort is big for this team. Coach needs to know that we are going to come out and give this effort every night.
