fought half hard second teams totally
We were two totally different teams out there from the first half to the second half. We fought hard and got back into it.
felt great hard nice plays
It's hard to look at positives, but we did a lot of nice things. We felt like we could make plays on them, and we did. They just made a great play at the end, and it's unfortunate.
against challenge definitely great hard players playing
I try to get up for the challenge of playing against great players all the time, and he's definitely one of the elite. So we'll go out there, play hard and see what happens.
breaks foul hard picking rhythm silly team
The big thing is, it kind of breaks up our rhythm a little bit. We try to play it a little more up-tempo and then, just every time, we're picking up the silly foul or the other team is getting to the free-throw line. It makes it hard to play.
competing fighting group harder start together
We have to be able to make adjustments during the game. When things aren't going as well as we would like them to, we (need) to come together as a group and start competing harder ? that's when you should start fighting harder.
coming foul hard
It was hard a foul but it wasn't that big a deal. I really didn't see him coming and there was a collision.
advantage hard
He thought we had an advantage and wanted to make a hard foul. It's just part of the game. Just got to take it.
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.
