change pinpoint throughout
If we could pinpoint it, we would change it in a heartbeat. You go through stretches like this throughout a long season.
coming sure surprised
I am a little surprised by the start. I just wasn't sure what we had coming in.
intent plan within
My sense is that this plan is well within that. Our intent is to do most in the condominium format.
blaming grown stay
We're not blaming nothing on nobody. We're grown men. We've just got to find a way to stay on the floor.
ball behind eight explain figure game ourselves putting start turn
Like I said earlier, I don't know how to explain it. It's something we have to turn around. We're putting ourselves behind the eight ball at the start of the game and it's not working for us. We have to figure out something.
I'm all right; I don't need to do it this year.
happens
It's just one of those things that happens. We'll just see what happens next.
best fatigue point stop trying win worried
There was no fatigue factor. At that point of the game, with one stop to win the game, you're not worried about being tired. You're trying to do your best to get a stop. We just didn't get it.
dunk
I try to dunk with power, use all my strength. If that rim comes off, great.
corner feet jonathan left stuff tried
They tried to corner me before I left and make me tell them. Jonathan Bender tried to give me some ideas. But he's 7 feet tall. A lot of the stuff he can do, I can't.
I just don't have it like I used to have it.
smaller trying
We're trying to keep it in smaller modules.
coming fun games good learning together
We're coming together more, learning each other's games a little better and getting a good feel for each other. We're having fun out there.
bad fortunate
We didn't do anything right and as bad as we played, we were fortunate to be down one at halftime.
