good seven stay
We?re 5-2 after the break. If we could go 5-2 every seven games, we?d have a good record. We just have to stay up and not get down.
good growing happening keeps learning shows
When it keeps happening that shows you're not learning and you're not growing from your mistakes. That's not a good sign. We keep doing the same things over and over that's the frustrating part.
good growing keeps learning shows staying
When it keeps happening, that shows you?re not learning and you?re not growing from your mistakes. You?re just staying in the same place -- and that?s not a good sign. You always want to grow. You always want to get better.
heard
It wasn't anything we hadn't heard before ? just a little more emphatically.
crowd function guy hard involved tough worrying
It's tough for me because you want to feel like you can play this game. If I'm in the crowd and I see somebody's not involved and not doing much, I'm going to think that guy can't play. The other team's not worrying about you. It's hard for me to function that way.
crunch
It's crunch time. We don't really have a choice. If we want to make the playoffs, that's what we have to do.

They weren't on fire. They kept moving and passing the ball, just getting wide-open shots. If you have wide-open shots, that's what happens.
defend hit shots stay together tough
They hit some tough shots and we just didn't defend for 48 minutes. It's been like that for a while. We just got to stay together and just don't give up. You just got to keep trying.
asking figured question questions team tough
Um, I mean, if we had that figured out, we'd be a better team. That's the question that's out there. We can't figure it out. If we ever do, we'll be a tough team to beat. How y'all are asking these questions - we're all asking the same things.
biggest coming conference division eastern games home win within
We've got two home games. The biggest thing is just win games within our division and the Eastern Conference. We've got two Eastern Conference games coming up at home, so we want to try to take advantage.
consistent games score stay together tough
We are still in the playoffs, so we have to stay with it and keep trying. We have 16 games left. It is always tough to score on a consistent basis. We have to stay together and get shots.
against continue early knew shots
We knew all we had to do was, if we make two shots early against the zone, they're out of it, and we could continue doing what we were doing.
biggest consistent instead lose relying score stay stops together tough
When you lose a 30-point-a-game scorer, it's always going to be tough to score on a consistent basis. I think that's the biggest thing. We've got to stay together and try to get stops at the end instead of relying on scoring.
That's what killed us; it put us in a hole.
