actual encouraged game laws moment negative negativity reward rewarding rugby side sort spiral tackle tries trying
There has to be some sort of officiating of the actual laws of the game. Rugby is in a really negative spiral at the moment where the game is rewarding negativity at the tackle contest. There is no reward at all for trying to play rugby. We're a side that actually tries to play rugby and we're not being encouraged to play.

blame detroit game happy leg loss shots taking tough trying
We got happy just taking the threes. After a tough game (a 95-89 loss at Detroit on Friday), you may not have the leg strength. That was key. We were trying to penetrate and kick. The shots didn't go down. Just don't blame it on shooting. You can never blame a loss on shooting. It's what you do defensively.
nights
You have nights like that when you want it so bad.
anyone deal drive hit mike past tough unlimited
When Mike (is) on like that, he makes it tough for anyone to deal with because he has unlimited range, pretty much. What are you going to do, come up on him? He'll just drive right past you and hit the pull-up. When he's got it going, he's just tough to deal with.
good guys worked
I told the guys that something good would come of this. We worked our butts off.
confidence feet open says shoot shots turn
It's the confidence that says if I'm open shoot the basketball. I've been making shots my whole career. I can't turn down an open shot. I'm sorry, I can't do it. If I'm open, and a guy's 30 feet away from me, I've got to let it go.
picked replace
It's like for like, they've just picked another big No.6 to replace (Collins).

It was a bad game all the way around. The good thing about this league is that we have an opportunity to bounce back the next night.

It's not a personal attack on Big Boy. It's just offensive. He's pointing at his private parts. People are calling me saying their kids are asking about it. Parents are upset about it. I'm upset about it.
everybody guys happy
Everybody is saying, they can't do this, they can't do that. I was happy for those guys to come out and play well.
