I just can't figure out how he can miss that many days and come back and play like that. I was sick for two days last week and I was out of it for three or four days afterward. I couldn't get into a rhythm at all.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Things just came to me. It has been a tough month and hopefully this is the start of a better part of the season.
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.
Shooting threes is always what I do best. If it's not what I do best, something is wrong with my game.
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.
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.
I pulled up, and gave about all I had. It was on line, luckily.
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.
