basics care serve
Serve and pass. You take care of the basics and go from there.
game missed missing precise seen serves stop ways
We were so in system. They couldn't stop us at all. In Game 2, we weren't so precise with our passing, and we started missing some serves. In Game 3, we really started missing some serves. ... We missed some serves in ways I haven't seen out of our guys.
jump serves serving
Jump serves are good, but only if you keep them in play. No. 1 is a serving error. There's nothing worse.
feeling lucky
I'm feeling very lucky to get out of Lyon with a win.
factors voted
Take a look at the standings. That's how I voted (numbers) 1 through 8. What other factors could there be?
argument body clean endurance good moving outside power rack takes
Take your body weight, put it on a rack and power clean it 74 consecutive times, and that's a good argument for moving to the outside (hitter position). He did that. That's an endurance feat, of course, but it also takes a little strength, too.
heap last nobody position quickly seemed settle top whoever
It seemed like whoever ascended to the top of the heap would quickly give it away. Nobody could settle into that position last year.
heels
They were the way we thought they would be. They had us on our heels all night.
good invested missing win
This was a big win for us. It's always a good thing to be emotionally invested in a match, which was missing the other night.
hoping improved last saw since sure thinking
We're thinking 'one day at a time,' and hoping to get a little better each day. Have we improved since we last saw them (Jan. 20)? For sure we have.
follow internet kept service
Even if we wanted to follow those things, we couldn't. The Internet service is down in our hotel. We're like mushrooms. We're being kept in the dark.
coming helped huge lift played
Bender coming in was a huge lift for the team. He played well and helped us get going.
barely believe eyes honest saw
To be honest with you, I can barely believe what I saw with my eyes.
bunch call chances clear felt game pull
Things were going well clear into Game 3 and then we squandered a bunch of points. I didn't call a timeout because I felt we'd pull out of it. We had our chances in Game 3 and then we collapsed.
