add five four maybe mean row seven six string together win
We've got to put together a string at some time. It doesn't mean we have to put together seven in a row or anything like that. At some point, we have to win five of six and maybe add another four out of five in there.
chance decent dig dug hole lay line looked ourselves quarter serious third
We've dug ourselves a decent hole here and we're going to have to dig ourselves out. This is a game, if you're going to get serious about what you're going to do this season, (that) you've got to lay it all on the line there in the third quarter when we have a chance to win. We just looked out of it most of the night.
shots
We had our chances. We just couldn't make enough shots at the end.

I don't want to be changing the lineup all the time. In order to do that, we have to have a bunch of guys be consistent in their roles. We haven't gotten to that point yet.
decisions maybe wish
But we've all made spur-of-the-moment decisions that maybe we look back on and wish we hadn't made.
fought guys
But the guys did what they do and fought back.
game next odds win
If we go down 3-1 and go to their building, then the odds become long again. We need to win the next game to really make it a series.
advancing apparently continue toward trend
If they continue that trend that they apparently never foul, that will go a long way toward them advancing (in the playoffs).

I don't how long, but I imagine for a few games, anyway.
players
I'd like to think the players are better. Yeah.
