We've got a lot of team chemistry now. A lot of guys are playing to their potential. Like a great man always said, 'Better late than never.' I'm glad we're doing it now.

I think we're getting used to letting other teams come back and giving everybody a show. It's gotten real crazy.
against backs course played scratch team thinks type
I think we played that way because our backs were against the wall. Of course we didn't play our best. We're not the type of team that that thinks we're the No. 1 team, so we can do anything we want. We still have to scratch and claw to keep that No. 1.

It's hurtful. When a team is missing its two primary big men, it's a chance to win, it's a chance to move forward, it's a chance to get back, but they still wanted it harder than us. We let that defense get to us. Not in the first half. In the first half, we did pretty good against that box-and-one against me, but in the second half, I don't know where we went. It's all about heart. It's all about hustling 90 feet. We didn't hustle.
