bad checked chest lose lost pains plane year
I have chest pains after every bad game. Nothing has changed. I feel bad when we lose and this has been a year when we've lost a lot so it's not something that's fun. But Lisa just thought I need to get checked before I got on the plane (Wednesday night).
five lost month national playing remember straight won
I remember when I was at Kansas, we lost five straight games. I told the team, 'We're playing great,' and we won the national championship a month later.
capable chances lost ready three trying understand win winning
We got to be ready to play our first game, ... We've lost three times. Again, I'm trying to tell them we had chances to win all three. So don't feel like you're not capable of winning games. And try to understand what we need to do better.
bounce confidence games hitting lost period rookies shot since
I think all our rookies are kind of going through a period now where they're kind of hitting a wall. I think their confidence is probably shot a little bit, since they've lost more games now than they've probably lost in their whole career. They'll bounce back.
ahead behind change figure games good last leave lost number reasons
There's a number of reasons why we've lost games. That's behind us. There's nothing we can do to change that right now. We've got to look ahead and figure out how we can get better. That's the thing, and the last two games doesn't leave me with a good feeling.

When you get beat on dribble penetration, it's going to open up a lot of things. You can't defend on the road like this and expect to win.

When you don't have practice time and you get away with winning some games, you get a false sense of who you are.
anybody game last looked night
When you don't have anything to play for, you find out a lot about character. The last two games, obviously, were really disappointing in a lot of ways. I looked at the end of the game last night and I didn't see anybody quitting.
anybody figured frustrated year
When you don't have anything to play for, you find out a lot about character. Anybody who is not frustrated with what's going on this year is not being real. I think we all are frustrated. The only thing I've ever figured out is you have to try harder.
players talked talking
We were talking about our team, I kind of let him know about what our players are doing. And then we talked about the Minnesota-Boston trade.

We kind of got healthy. That was a key. Since we got healthy, we've settled on a rotation. That's been helpful.
