game simple win
We got to win that game. Simple as that.
games road win
We're going to have to win some games on the road if we're going to get in the playoffs.
against impatient mental mistakes played quarter second shot
I just thought in the first quarter (that) we made a lot of mental mistakes defensively that we can't make against this team. And in the second quarter, they shot it so well that it just snowballed. We got very impatient offensively, and that just played right into their hands.
continue stay talk trust within
I'll talk to Ron. He has to stay within the flow. He's going to continue to come out and be a factor. He's just got to trust his teammates. Hopefully, that's what he's going to do.
chance cost forced game guys impatient issue minutes second stop three tied win
In the second half, we didn't stop them. I have to give my guys credit. We had the chance to put it away. When it was tied with three minutes to go in the game, we didn't do what you have to do to win a game like this. We were impatient and we forced the issue and it cost us the game.
blew both easy ends fourth job missing
In the fourth quarter, we started missing it. They got easy opportunities and blew it open. We just have to do a better job on both ends of the court.
certain change everybody expect feelings goes quality season
He's such a quality individual. I never expect him to come out and not play hard. He's just got to find a way to get through this. Everybody has feelings at certain times, but those feelings can change as the season goes on.
hard impressive obviously time
He's just been a monster. They have a hard time guarding him. He's quick, he's aggressive, he's obviously strong. I think the most impressive thing is the way he rebounded the ball.
came care floor fought hardly nine played presence saw
I don't know how he played and fought through that. If you saw him yesterday, he was hardly walking, and then he came out here (and played). He doesn't care that he had nine points, he had a real presence on the floor defensively.
amazed came fought played walking
I don't know how he played and fought through it. (On Saturday) he wasn't even walking very good. He came in, and they were just amazed how spry he was.
envision trying
I didn't envision anything. At the time, we were just trying to right the ship. I didn't really know what was going to happen.
break floor gives grows guy people team time willing
He's very willing to do that. He gives us something we really haven't had: A guy that can put it on the floor and break people down. I think we should give it some time and see how this team grows together.
definitely players playing struggled unusual
We've definitely struggled so far, ... It's not that unusual when you have players that haven't been playing that long together.
certainly great milwaukee ourselves position win
We've certainly put ourselves in position to have a great trip. Now we have to do it in Milwaukee on Wednesday. It's a big win for us.
