bad great guy happens thinking wait
We all feel bad for him. We don't know the whole story. We're just going to wait and see what happens with that. Obviously, we're thinking of him a lot. He's a great guy and a great teammate.
four kept lose saying team
We kept saying in the huddle that we're not going to lose to this team four times.
fun looking player playing
We've been looking for something to get us going for a while. We had some long practices, we had some long meetings. But we got back to having fun out there. When you're having fun, you're going to player harder. When you're playing harder, you're playing better defense.
came doubt gonna good hard heal injury matter natural pray rookie sure thumb watch willie
It?s hard. He?s such a good guy, it?s hard to just watch it. You?ve just got to pray for him. But it?s Willie Green. He?s gonna do everything he can to get back on time. He?s just a natural athlete. I?m sure he?ll heal quickly. He came back from his thumb injury well his rookie year, I think. I don?t have any doubt that he?s gonna come back. It?s just a matter of how long it?s gonna take him.
both feels fitting key nice playing together
It's all about fitting together and playing together. If we do that, we really have a nice team. That's the key for us. If everyone feels like they're playing at both ends, they're going to play harder.
ball finished good isolation plays rely turn
We didn't turn the ball over and we got good shots. We didn't just rely on isolation plays and that was something that was different tonight. We just finished it off really well.
allen greater leader leading playing tough
We?re just playing together, we?re playing with a greater sense of urgency, and Allen is leading us. I really feel like he?s the key. He?s the leader and he?s been playing great. He?s been a lot more vocal. He has a different look in his eye. And when he has that look, he?s pretty tough to stop.

athletic beginning blocking both changes envisioned guys hurt playing points shots
It changes everything. They're two guys with the same athletic makeup. They're blocking shots and getting rebounds. Second-chance points are something that's really hurt us this year. And when those guys are both playing like that, (the opponent) isn't getting any of that. It really does change a lot of things for us. This is really what we had envisioned at the beginning of the season.
contested game hard hit missed
He hit that (three-pointer) over me in the first game of the season. I thought I contested it so hard the first game and he still made it. I was, like, 'Not again.' But he missed it.
gave pulled
I pulled up, and gave about all I had. It was on line, luckily.
turn wants whenever
He's just a freak. Whenever he wants to turn it on, he just has this switch.
athletic case finish gone harder seems step tonight
If you really have fear, you play a little harder than we did and we didn't play that way. It seems like we're a step slow. We're not the most athletic team, so we have to me more aggressive. We've gone over everything we can think of why we don't finish off games, but we don't and tonight was just another case of that.
allen numbers playing puts
Allen just comes out and performs, and the numbers he puts up are great. He's just playing really really well right now.
