desperate loose obviously played playing team
We were playing a team that was obviously playing desperate and you could see that play in them. We're loose and we played aggressive.
calm deserved felt last owed played
Another calm night. I think we deserved that one after the last two times that we played them. We felt we stole this one tonight. But we felt they stole two from us, so we owed them that one.
ball defense either felt game good gotten last nobody playing shot team tough
Even if we got it up court, we wouldn't have gotten a good shot off. It's a tough loss. The game felt like the last team who had the ball was going to score. Nobody was playing defense on either team.
benefit beyond chance consistent gets gives happens obvious playing situations
Beyond the obvious benefit of playing time, it gives us the chance to see where he's at. It will be interesting to see what happens when he gets the consistent minutes. I want to try and fit him into as many situations as possible.
floor great middle player shot sideline stay
I wanted him to stay more in the middle of the floor because we thought if he went to the sideline they would be able to double. And they actually did, and he still got the shot off. That was just a great player making a great shot.
physically played soft team tougher win
We played as soft as a team can be. They were tougher mentally, physically and there was no way we were going to win that game.
defense hard nights played tonight
We played really hard tonight and I thought our defense was phenomenal. On most nights it would have been enough to win.
paul played playing shots sure
We have to make sure that Wally and Paul have shots at the end of the game. I'm disappointed in the loss. We played hard, but we're not playing smart.
great player wait
That was such a great game. As a player I couldn't wait to play it.
felt fought great horrible middle played playing stopped third turn
You just got to feel at some point, it's going to turn our way. I felt horrible for them. They fought their butts off. I thought other than the middle of the third quarter, when we stopped playing for one stretch, I thought we played just great basketball.
enjoys exciting fact floor group playing talent team work
We have a lot of work to do as a team and I can see that. It's exciting because I do see the talent on the floor and I like the fact that this group enjoys playing with each other.
chances game offensive played stretch tonight
We had our chances tonight in the game that we never really played great, never had any offensive rhythm. We had one stretch where we did; other than that, we didn't and we just didn't come through.
against game home hope lose obviously playing
Obviously a home game against Atlanta, you hope you can win. We're not playing well right now. It's frustrating to lose this game.
mean player ricky
Ricky is probably our second-best player on the team, but that doesn't mean he starts.
