busy continue fight frequency hang midst month next night ourselves position terms win
We know any win we can get is really critical, especially on the road. We have a very busy month in terms of frequency of games. We're going to have to continue to hang in and fight every night and give ourselves a chance. We're right in the midst of this thing. There's a lot that's going to be going on over the next 25-30 games. You're going to see a lot of jockeying and a lot of position changes.
confidence frequency game games push season
We have an 11-game season to make a push to make the playoffs. There's nothing guaranteed. We'll find out what we're made of during this stretch. The frequency of games is still there. We're a little banged up, but we have to find a way. I have a lot of confidence in our group.
call frequency hard last practice three time
It's been like this the last two or three times he's come back. It's been hard to get what you call real practice time because of the frequency of games.
against chance frequency next
He'll be re-evaluated next Monday. If things look good, there will be a chance he can play (Feb. 15 against Milwaukee). It's the combination of the frequency of the concussions and his symptoms. It's something you can't rush.

disrupt frequency group high momentum stick
The group that was out there was going good. I didn't want to disrupt that momentum at that point. You're getting into a high frequency of games. If you find a group that's clicking, you have to stick with them.
feeling
We're going to see how he's feeling tomorrow.
good
When we had good shots, we couldn't get them to go. We weren't good enough tonight, and they were very good, really, for the whole game.
admit areas category
We can do better in some areas and we will. I admit we all have to do better. I put myself in that category as well.
concerns games starting win
We're going to have to win a lot of games, starting with getting our first win, and that's really the only thing that concerns me right now.
based evaluate finding games group guys three
We're finding out more about this group every game. We have a lot of guys that can contribute, but I have to evaluate it based on performance, the rotation, all those things. These (past) three games will be important to look at.
ball behind eight figure fly pants personnel points score seat terms ways
We're behind the eight ball in terms of our personnel that are available. We're going to have to fly by the seat of our pants here, and figure out enough ways to score enough points and get stops.
awhile hanging hopes
We have to go on the idea that he's not going to be here. We can't be hanging our hopes on his return. It's going to be awhile if he comes back at all.
blame bunch fate lousy quarter third
We have no one to blame but ourselves. You play a lousy third quarter and give up a bunch of turnovers, you're going to tempt fate with that kind of play over a 12-minute period.
