basketball definitely games good guys help home rely run shot stay taken teams tend
The three-point shot definitely does help teams stay in games sometimes; it's the home run of basketball now. I feel that it's a good part of the game. Do guys sometimes tend to rely on three-point shot too much? Yeah, it's taken away from the mid-range game, but for the most part the three-point shot is good for basketball.

We should be learning be learning from this. ...We're definitely angry.

We jumped on them and I thought out defense played an integral part. We didn't shoot the ball exceptionally well, but we got a lot of lay-ups and second chance shots.

I wish Chris was healthy, but unfortunately he's not. We're just going to keep doing the things that we have to do. It's going to take more than me, Charlie (Villanueva) and Mike. It's going to take the whole team.

charlotte couple defensive gives guys hard involved knew plays team turn whenever
It started on the defensive end. I got a couple of stops. I was able to get guys involved and, after that we were able to get a comfortable lead. A team like Charlotte always plays hard and never gives up. Whenever we would make a run, we knew we had to turn it up defensively.
guys home step thinking younger
It's a lot of minutes. We want the younger guys to step up. But when I'm out there, I'm not really thinking about it. When I go home at night, that's when I really feel it. I've got to get my rest.

When we were off to our 1-15 start I think that's when they did the poll.
