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.
ball moved shot solid win
We shot the ball really well. I think if you're making shots, it makes a big difference. We moved the ball well and had 26 assists. It was just a solid win from the start.
ball opposite shot sums turned
We shot poorly, turned the ball over. We didn't play well. Twenty-eight turnovers and 13 assists? That's usually opposite for us. That sums it up for me. Can't say much more than that.
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.
criteria league move office
I had no idea this was going to happen. But the criteria is set by the league office, and so that's the way it is. We have to move on.
I like what we're doing right now, how things are going.
anybody complain four
I'm not going to complain about this. We've got four more to go. If we keep winning, there's nothing anybody else can do about it.
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.
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.
against played
I have nothing against the way we played (Thursday).
attitude came good great position themselves
We came back with a good attitude today. They've put themselves in a position to have a great trip.
