ball pass playing struggled turned
We struggled playing the game. We didn't pass the ball very well. We turned it over. And playing on the road, you can't turn it over like we turned it over.
ball game pass playing shot struggled turned win
We struggled playing the game tonight. We didn't pass the ball well, we turned the ball over, you can't win like that. We shot the ball poorly, and our decision-making was bad.
frantic fueled instead pace played smarter team trying turned whatever
We played at a frantic pace instead of the way we wanted to play. We quick-shot it, we turned it over -- we just fueled whatever they were trying to do. We have to be a smarter team than that.
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.
chance fourth quarter row three turned
You've got to give yourself a chance in the fourth quarter. I don't know what we were down in the fourth quarter and we turned it over three times in a row and that was a killer. You can't do that. It was just unforced turnovers.
came game gave guard happen instead jazz took trying turned waited
The Jazz were the aggressors and they took the game over and we just caved in. We came out and gave it to them. We didn't guard them. We turned it over and we just waited for something to happen instead of trying to make it happen.
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.
last mentally
We're just mentally different than we were two years ago or even last season.
team
We were a team without a personality. With Ron, we have one.
ball calmed forced half halftime second simple talked trying
We were trying to make the spectacular play, and all we talked about at halftime was trying to make the simple play. I thought the first half we really forced a lot of things, and during the second half, we calmed down the ball pretty well.
general happy sit talent
We're not going to sit back and let this continue. We're not happy about what's going on, and I know Mr. Geoff Petrie (the general manager) is not happy either. We have too much talent for this.
knew
We knew they were going to make a run. They always do here.
attack crowd game knew
We knew they were going to come out and attack us. It was the first game here. The crowd was into it.
