confuses lost problem since size small twice
I know we've lost to them twice since I've been here, and I know they lost to them twice before. It's a problem when they go small because everyone is the same size and it confuses us offensively.
bit felt game gets plays reviewing second teammates time
This is my first game. I just got a feel for my new teammates and they got a feel for me. We've got to keep working. You think you know the set plays after reviewing them in practice, then the game comes, and it gets a little bit confusing. I think with time it's going to get better. In the second half, I felt more comfortable.
gone month time
A month already. The time has gone by so quick.
fourth open
You can't say they did anything defensively on us. We had a lot of open shots. I know I did - especially in the fourth quarter.
soccer bigs my-future
I thought soccer was my future, but I got too big.
basketball hard-work thinking
The basketball skills I have, I've got because I work hard. When you work hard, I think you don't have to be afraid of anything.
moving guy energy
From the time I started playing, I've always been the high-energy, never-stop-moving guy.
blaming fourth free happens missed nights open shots throws
I missed a lot of open shots, especially in the fourth quarter. Shots were just not going in for us. Some nights it just happens like that. We can't go blaming the referees, but they shot 20 free throws more than we did.
