bit dug edge focus needed passion played together type
I wouldn't say we played that way the whole game, but for stretches we really dug down and did what we needed to do. We're a different type of team. We need a little bit of an edge for us to win. We don't have a superstar, so we have to focus on the little things, play with passion and play together as a group.
affect bit bothering three
It's up and down and a little bit painful, but it doesn't affect me too much. It's been bothering for 2-1/2 to three weeks. It's not a big deal.
bit bumps confident few hit hope rest treatment
I've got a few bumps and bruises, but I'm confident that with treatment and a little bit of rest, I'll be able to go. It's one of those things where when you get warmed up and get some treatment, you can go. I just hope I don't get hit there again.
bit gotten
It's gotten a little bit competitive, and that's all good.
bit good
As a team, I think we did a pretty good job. We just have to do a little bit better.
bit plays stop
I thought we got a little bit stagnant, and they were able to make plays when they had to. We couldn't stop them when it counted.
anybody good job mental mentality remember talk toughness
We talk a lot about mental toughness and the mentality of approaching the game, and we've done a good job with it. I can't remember anybody not being ready, and we just have to keep doing it.
looking shot taking tried whether
We just tried to be more aggressive, especially on our pick-and-rolls. It was also about just making plays, whether it was taking my shot or looking for other people.
coming describe everybody game knows ready
We weren't ready. I don't know how to describe it. It's unfortunate. Everybody coming in knows how big a game this is, so to not be ready is unacceptable.
felt gets good shots
We have to find a way to score. We felt like we got good looks. I thought my shots were going in. When they don't, it just gets frustrating.
felt good
We have to find a way to score. Offensively, we just have to tighten some things up. We felt like we got good looks.
great plays
We showed that we could make plays on them. But they made a great play at the end.
hopes playing time turn week
The time is now. We have to do it now, or in a week or two we could be out of it and not playing for anything. If we have any hopes of being in the playoffs, we have to turn it around.
loose
They all got loose on us in the fourth.
