I?ve played in thousands of pickup games and maybe sprained an ankle here and there, but you can?t be that worried about it,
The second half is how we have to play. That half was played with a sense of urgency.
Things just came to me. It has been a tough month and hopefully this is the start of a better part of the season.
You always wanted to get that last win at home. The season hasn't gone exactly the way we wanted it to go, but you want to end it right - so that's what we're trying to do.
We're all just pretty disappointed. It was a long year, a tough year, a disappointing year. We're a lot better than what we've shown all year. I think everyone knows that. We just didn't come together like we needed to. There wasn't the cohesiveness we needed on this team.
Maybe it'll be a good thing. Maybe we just need to get out of here and just say it's us or nothing.
We've talked more about defense in practice. When we watch film, that's all we watch is defense -- we don't even watch our offense right now. (Defense) has just been our focus. We're playing a different style of basketball right now in terms of slowing it down. We're playing well.
We gave up 86 points in an overtime game. We've given that up in three quarters a lot of times lately.
We gave up 86 points in an overtime game. It seems like we've been giving up 86 points in three quarters in the last month.
We just didn't play well in the first half. That second, we played harder, played a lot better, a lot more energy.
Shooting threes is always what I do best. If it's not what I do best, something is wrong with my game.
This was a huge boost for us. Now we feel like we can do some things. We've just played together. We talked all year about doing that.
We've got to do something. There's not really a lot of options, so we'll try this.
We've just been playing harder. I don't know why this has all of a sudden clicked like it has. We've said all along we have tools, we have talent. For a while, our effort just wasn't there, but I can't put a finger on why it was that way.
