adversity coach great hard hate ignore prevent stuff trying
We've had a lot of adversity, a lot of stuff said about our team. We've got to ignore that stuff. Coach is a great coach and we hate to see him go down that path. We're trying to play as hard as we can to prevent that from happening.
game gets gives next prepared win
The win gets us prepared for our next game and gives us a lot of confidence.
run running seen
I've never seen them run that fast. It was like they were running from the police. It was so funny.
coach confidence jump knows problem taking
Coach has put confidence in me. He knows I've been working on my jump shot, so he doesn't have any problem with me taking it.
everybody good lost reasons sacramento together
Sacramento is a good team, but everybody is beatable on every night. It's just on how you play, and we didn't play together tonight. That's one of the reasons why we lost (Friday).
form hope open prayed
I got the ball, was open and had to take it myself and hope for the best. My form was all right. I just prayed that it would go in.
space
I'd like to see how space is. I'd like to float.
aggressive anybody both calls care defensive deserve ends hacked hard numbers offensive respect somebody telling time touch
I don't care what the numbers say, I'm telling you we're getting screwed. We play hard and I think we deserve the same calls anybody else gets. We play aggressive on both ends of the floor. We don't get that respect on the defensive end because every time we touch somebody it's a foul. Then we go out there on the offensive end and get hacked and it's not a foul. Anybody can see that something is not right.
al ball drew jump kept knocked larry opportunity shoot shot swung telling
(Assistant coach) Larry Drew kept telling me to shoot my shot because it's right on target. The opportunity came, Al (Harrington) swung the ball to me, and I knocked down the jump shot.
match opportunity played took
They played off of me and I took every opportunity to take it to the basket. They really can't match up with any of us man-to-man.
groups interact
It was really neat. You got to interact with a whole lot of different groups of Indians.
coach fired good lions
Don?t be like all the other Lions coaches, how they got fired and stuff. Be a good coach and be supportive.
row since three time won
That's the first time we've won three in a row since I've been here.
grabbed pulled
They said I grabbed the rim and pulled up to get the rebound. I was shocked.
