against beaten best bring geared solid teams
There are some solid teams that we've beaten -- and there's some teams that we should have beaten and didn't. It's just frustrating. I think we play better against teams like this and we get more geared up for them. I think they bring out the best in us.
ball good job team turn
We did a good job defensively. We didn't turn the ball over much. It was really more of a team win.
building chemistry critical fit five great people played swing three time trying
We've have chemistry that we've been building with him not playing, so we're trying to fit him in. People can't be so critical of him. I mean, let him play three or five games. Corey's a great player, but he hasn't played in three months, so you've got to give him some time to get back into the swing of things.
ball best good position situation
I don't know what the situation is, but if I get the ball in good position I try to do the best I can to score.
absence helps offense record
No offense to Kenyon, but I think (his absence) helps them. Look at their record without him.
becoming cool possible seems
It'd be a pretty cool situation. It seems like it's becoming more and more possible each game.
bad bring deserve forget guys harder stick stuff
Reputations stick with you. It's harder to forget about stuff you do in this league, because somebody's always going to bring it up ... Sometimes guys get bad reputations but they don't deserve it.
hard hit longer minutes sustain worked
He's able to sustain longer minutes in the game. He's more powerful, and he's able to hit the jumper a lot better; he worked real hard on that.
bit played pressure punish
We played them good, we had them going. We've got to keep the pressure on, punish them. We didn't do that. I think it was a little bit of jitters, maybe.
playoffs since
We haven't been in the playoffs since 1997.
came fire fought gave good series shooting struggled third
We play such good defense, and they struggled all series shooting the ball. I thought they came out with fire in the third quarter. Then we fought back and put them in the ground. They gave up.
seen
We didn't play soft. There were a lot of fouls called. Some that we weren't used to and some that I haven't seen in my whole life.
guys hopefully match playoffs quarter second
The second quarter is what killed us. Hopefully we'll get to play these guys in the playoffs because I think we match up well with them.
key
He's our guy. He's the key to our success.
