We have to do something about our bad starts because it's not the first time it's happened to us all year. Maybe we should get up at 6 o'clock and run around the block.
Two disappointing losses. We can't really hang our heads. We're right there. We had our chances to beat both of them. But we have some improving to do.
There was a lot of hacking going on.
They had us backpedaling. But right before halftime, we got a great push and then carried it into the second half.
I tried to stay aggressive. That's what the team wants me to do. I tried to make things happen during that stretch.
It's two disappointing loses but we can't really hang our heads down because we were right there. We had our chances to beat both of them. We know what we need to do. We still have over 20 games left. We have to improve on both ends of the floor. We'll work harder in practice and be there hopefully be there in April, May and June.
They're going to play with a chip on their shoulder. They got the best record in the league, and they're going to come out firing. They're so balanced, you can't really concentrate on one guy. It should be a great defensive battle.
It's kind of hard not to get caught up in the race. You're half a game up, half a game down. There's pressure on every game now.
This is a big win and now we have an opportunity for another big win (Saturday against New Orleans). We need to run them all if we really want this thing.
They adjusted and double-teamed me. I've got to do a better job finding the open man. More than anything, we know now we need a little more consistency for longer stretches.
I started to play the guitar for a couple of years, which was fun. I still bring it out once in a while, could bust out a couple of songs, but I'm not very good at it.
I try to stay away, but In-N-Out, you just can't compare it. It's the best. It's the best. It's healthy fast food; they do their own meat and their own salad.
I don't think the Whataburger would dunk on the In-N-Out Burger, but I never really liked Whataburger or all the other burgers. McDonald's is decent, I guess, but no, the In-N-Out Burger kills them all.
I think I can always shoot 3s. I think I can shoot 3s when I'm 60.
