grown last looks percent shot year
He's grown up. Last year we would have cringed when he shot the basketball. Now his shot looks like a shot. He's 100 percent better than he was last year, but he still has a long way to go.
close games plays refused
We have had a lot of close games that we just didn't make plays down the stretch, but we refused to lose tonight.
against close couple far free games gone good hat kids road tip tonight
We have had a couple good road wins, but this is by far the best. Our young kids did it tonight and you need to tip your hat to them. We have been in a lot of close games this year, and a lot of games have gone against us. Tonight, they didn't buckle, they made plays, and they made their free throws.
game guys necessary plays stepped win
Our young guys stepped up and made plays when the game got tight. We were able to step up and do the things necessary to win the game.
ball eventually small wear
I thought eventually we would wear him down and make them play small ball with us, and they did. That was to our advantage.
against bench board caught drawing guys win work zone
I thought we had enough guys on the bench to win this game. We just got lackadaisical and the zone caught us. We have to go back to the drawing board and work against the zone.
adequate allen caught contain defense fourth game hope solid stop third
I thought we just defended. You're not going to stop Allen Iverson. Webber had a big game as well. All you can do is try to contain them and hope for the best. I thought we did an adequate job. I thought our defense was solid in the third and fourth (quarter). Once we caught up, it was back and forth.
few key
I thought there were a few key plays. We just have so much to overcome.
against seem
I think we feel comfortable when we play them. We know what's coming. We just seem to play well against them. I don't know what it is.
advantage chances effort pull
I thought our effort was great. We had our chances down the stretch. We just couldn't take advantage and pull this one out.
beat came far fourth quarters third ways
I think we were embarrassed in that first half. They outplayed us in every way. They beat us in all ways that you could. We came out and competed in the third and fourth quarters but were just too far down.
coach defend defensive forgotten month playing trying
I think we've kind of forgotten who we were, but we were at least trying to defend a month ago. I'm a defensive coach and we are not playing defensive minded.
coming complete guy key league lethal proved starting team throughout title win
I think that title team proved throughout the league that you could win and not just have one or two superstars. That team was lethal because you didn't know where it was coming from, and that's how they are now. You can't key on one guy on that team, especially the starting unit. That's a complete team.
bit defend guys handle joe looking open putting shots team together
Joe is the description of what they're looking for. When you're putting a team together you're looking for guys who can do a little bit of everything. You want guys that can score, handle the ball, pass, defend and make shots in the open court. Joe can do all of those things.
