smaller trying
We're trying to keep it in smaller modules.
chemistry clicked coming everybody floor knew nobody playing team together trying wish work
I wish we really knew (what's going on). With everybody on this team coming back at different times, our chemistry hasn't been completely there all year. Nobody has been on the floor at the same time. Everybody is trying to work back into playing together with everybody's style. It hasn't clicked for us.
basketball best gone improve playing season tournament trying
We've been trying to improve as the season has gone on. We know we'll have to be playing our best basketball when the tournament comes around.
advantage confident game gotten knew trying
I knew I had to put a lot more on my shoulders. I've gotten a lot more confident in my game and I've been trying to take advantage of it.
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.
looked
The gradations of seriousness is not something I've looked into,
needed shots
We didn't make the shots we needed to make. That's a young team. Those things are going to happen.
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.
I'm all right; I don't need to do it this year.
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.
blocks felt might
Jermaine blocks a lot of shots, but he might have felt he just couldn't get to it. That's his decision.
