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.
compete gone guard hopefully sets
We've gone over all their stuff, and hopefully we'll be able to guard their sets a lot better. But we just need to compete a lot harder.
both career court ends hope matter obviously playing point tough
Obviously (he's) a tough assignment, but at this point in my career I would hope to be playing on both ends of the court no matter who I am guarding.
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.
ahead care far ground hopefully positive thinking wish
It's frustrating. We wish we would have made up more ground earlier, but it is what it is. We can't look back, just look ahead and hopefully take care of business. We're still thinking positive We know we're not out of this by any means. We just have to make it happen. So far we haven't been able to do that.

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.

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.

We have to find a way to score. Offensively, we just have to tighten some things up. We felt like we got good looks.
