continue days last team
We have to continue to get better and in the last 10 days we haven't. That is on me, I have to make my team better.
environment free good guys heading learn respond shooting throw
We are typically a good free throw shooting team. It's a different environment and there's a little more pressure. I think our guys will learn from this and respond well heading into (today).
emotion few kids knew last lost stops ugly
It was ugly at times, but when we had to make stops over the last few minutes, we did. Our kids knew if they lost they go home, and I think they showed a lot of emotion and some big hearts.
both free game last minutes needed pull rebounds stopped teams throws ugly
It was ugly at times. Both teams had the jitters. I thought the last two minutes of the game we had big hearts, stopped them when we needed to, got big rebounds and made just enough free throws to pull it out.
both hearts last shots teams ugly
It was ugly at times. Both teams had some jitters. But in the last two minutes, we had big hearts and managed to make some shots at the end.
gave heels mix
We wanted to mix it up a bit. I think it put them on their heels and gave us some momentum.
four mean playing win
I think our team's playing well. Does that mean we can win four games? I don't know. I don't know if we can win one game. It's more important right now that we play well.

I think every experience in the Pepsi Center is a good thing. How much it helps, I don't know. But I think there's certainly an adjustment we will have made that maybe they won't.
experience figure game good kids learning
I think this will be a good learning experience for Thursday. It was important to get a game under our belts. Our kids figure to be more relaxed.
difference hard managing time
We had a hard time managing Ainge, he set up a lot of people. He was probably the difference in the game.
easier rather trying
It's a lot easier said than done. We know what we're trying to do to him, but I'd rather that not be in the paper.
confidence consistent great player
Stuart was probably the most consistent player tonight, I have great confidence in him.
certainly felt risk worth
It's certainly a risk, but we felt like it was a risk worth taking.
effort field percent problem shot
We shot 48 percent from the field which I will take on the road. It wasn't an effort problem tonight, it was execution.
