became both eight finally offense rotation three weeks
Three weeks ago, I finally became comfortable with a rotation of eight guys, who could play on both offense and defense. Right now we don't have that on offense and we don't have it on defense.
ceiling played pleased record room shoot team three weeks win
We played well enough to win this game. As a team we have a significant ceiling to shoot for. There is a lot of room for this team to grow. I'm pleased with how we played. If we played this well the first three weeks we would have a different record from 7-5.
created five hit point second since squeeze start teams throwing time weeks
They put the squeeze on us the second half. And for the first time since Northwestern State, five weeks ago, we hit a point where we cracked. When teams start throwing dunks down, there's a point there where they created a competitive edge.

When Nick is comfortable he is very effective. When he is uncomfortable he's unpredictable. At this point, whatever trigger is there, Nick is playing comfortable and thus is very effective.

There has to be some development and growth there. When the point guards play well, then we are pretty good. We are hard to beat when the point guards play well.

We're trying to find the right combination to make us comfortable. I want guys to be aggressive, but I want them to be smart in doing that. Just way too many turnovers.
humbled scratch
We got humbled (today). We need to scratch and claw to get our way back into a competitive mindset.

What option do I have. It's logical if the clock started on the touch. We were arguing over 0.1 or 0.2. There's nothing there.

What Jordan does like any great point guard is the ability to have vision and control from sideline to sideline, as well as end line to end line. It's a talent that makes a good point guard a great point guard.

We certainly got an extreme test of what maximum challenges there are in Seattle and in that we flowed better with Wesley. Now he has an opportunity and that's what he needed.
changing eight game good job played prepared progress recognize respect team time
We've prepared ourselves, and we've made progress as a team through 11 games. We haven't played a team like that in respect to changing defenses all the time. To recognize defenses all the time and play a game with only eight turnovers, I thought we did a good job with our patience.

Thursday's game was difficult for me as a coach to endure. Today's was not. I'm pleased today. We dug ourselves a huge hole, no doubt about it, but we found a rhythm.

Thursday's game was a difficult game to coach and endure. Today's was not. It was the best 40 minutes of basketball we've played since Washington State (on Jan. 21). There's an enthusiastic locker room that is excited about practicing on Monday. From those things, I'm pleased today.
