basketball coach crunch execute fighting good lead playoff says stop
We're fighting for a playoff spot. Coach Sloan says that playoff basketball is crunch time. We need to run a play, execute and get a good shot. It's frustrating to fight the whole game, have a lead and then all of a sudden, we stop doing what we did to get there.
beginning good spot team tough watch
We didn't come out to play in the beginning of the game, and we didn't come out to play after the first half. It's tough to watch from the bench, and to see your team get down, because you can't spot a good team like this 20 points.
close coming free game jump last missed open overtime shots throws
Coming off last night's game, we really didn't want to go into an overtime game on a back-to-back. We had our chances. We missed free throws and didn't close out on some shooters. You can't give open jump shots coming down the stretch.
agent atlanta four lake loved meet next overall people salt week wife
I'm going back to Atlanta next week to meet with my agent and see what he's heard. Overall the people in Salt Lake have been great. My wife and I have loved it here for four years. I'd love to come back but I know this is a business.
gotta home winning
It's tough, but we've gotta go home and live with it. That's part of the business. It's getting tougher, it's getting steeper. But if we go on a winning streak, we're there.
build business continue good hopefully losing monkey needed push tough winning
It's good to get the monkey off our back; we just needed to get a win. Losing is tough in this business today. Winning is great, and now hopefully we can continue to build on this and try to push for the playoffs.
games year
It's a big one. The most important games all year for us.
care move three win
It's three in a row. I don't care how you win, or if it's ugly, we got the win and we move on.
fourth game start
This is a big loss. This is a winnable game ? and we start off the game kind of poorly, and we didn't get it done in the fourth quarter.
break fine line rough trying year
It's up to a year that you don't feel 100 percent. There's a fine line of doing too much and trying not to rough it up so that it doesn't break again.
against chemistry definitely takes team year
I definitely think we have what it takes to make the playoffs. We've had injuries, we've had different things go against us this year a little bit. But every team does. You know, we just have to find our chemistry and our rhythm, and make a push.
expect kinds
You can't expect those kinds of things to happen. I was kind of stunned.
