believe blowing coming early games last loss night
They were coming off a big loss last night and we had them on the ropes early in the game. But that's been our M.O. this year. We've got to believe in ourselves. We can't keep blowing opportunities to win games like tonight's.
feels finding killer last lose mistakes seemed ways whether year
Right now, it feels like we're finding ways to lose games. Whether it be making too many mistakes or fouling too much, it's frustrating. Last year it seemed like we had that killer instinct. It doesn't seem like we have that right now.
capitalize experience glad last time year
(For) a lot of guys, last year was their first time in the playoffs. I'm glad to have that experience, and hopefully, I can capitalize on it.
both easier expect experience good huge last rookie second year
I expect a huge leap. They both had such good years last year, and you know from experience how much easier your second year is from your rookie year. We expect big improvements.
best competing couple course help pick player tendencies trying
I'm just trying my best and getting help from my teammates. During the course of a series, you can pick up on a couple of tendencies because you play a player so many times in a row. Really, I'm just competing for as long as I can.
bother calls couple game knowing
It's something that used to really bother me in my first couple of years. But at this point, I go into every game knowing I'm not going to get any calls and just play through it. What else can you do?

It's something we've talked a lot about. Hopefully, we have grown a lot this season. It's a part of being a young team in this league.
good pull realized shots team
Everyone on the team realized that if we started making good stops, we would get right back in the game. We did that and made some big shots and we were able to pull it out.
extend happy
Everybody's happy we're going to extend our season. We're not going to be done on Wednesday.
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.
both everybody felt game knew throw
I'm just embarrassed and disappointed by the way we played. I felt like we were getting looks, we just couldn't throw it in the ocean. It was a big game for both teams. Everybody knew it. It was just a big letdown in pretty much all aspects.
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.
defense good great played problems since team worried
I've got enough problems; I'm not worried about what's going through his head. I just think it's just been really good team defense; our weak-side defense has been great since we played them.
basketball problems worried
I've got enough problems. I'm not worried about what's going through his head.
