bring
It's disappointing. It's up to us. We've got to go out there and bring the effort. That's the least we can do.
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.
difference glad huge
I'm glad to see him on the court. Obviously, he's going to make a huge difference to our team. I just can't wait.
coach excited great players
I'm excited. It's a great thing for me. They have great players and a great coach and I'm excited about my new start.
fresh start
I'm excited. It's a fresh start for me and I probably need that.
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.
game hard mix playing rest stay type winning
It's very important to get back on the winning track. We know we've got to stay in the mix and keep playing hard and getting this type of result. Every game is important the rest of the way out.
coming nerve
It's coming from a nerve in my back. We'll see. It's day to day.

It kind of wakes you up. We'll probably be more prepared physically and mentally for this game.
defended last plays rely
They defended it well, but we can't rely on last plays to win.
huge
Those turnovers were a huge factor. We just have to be more patient.
cannot eight energy focus four last minutes seven sudden turn
We cannot be down seven or eight in the last four minutes and all of a sudden turn things around. Energy and focus has to be there for 48 minutes.
almost home magic reason winning
Unbelievable. He is averaging almost 20-20 every night. He's the reason why the Magic are winning at home.
believe team
I still believe this team has a lot of potential, and if we play to our capabilities we can be fine.
