ben came report room
Ben was in his room at 2. I don't know where that report came from.
came err happened normally played second side soft telling truth
Well, I normally err on the side of telling the truth, so I'm going to tell it. I'm really embarrassed by what happened out there. I thought we came out in the second half, we were pretty much as soft as I've seen. We played with very little heart, very little aggressiveness.
came good hard played
We played hard for the most part. We had a lot of good stretches. Then it came down to the end, could we make plays, and we did.
bit came habitual looked third tough
We came out well tonight. Unfortunately, they came out better in the third quarter. We looked a little bit dazed and confused, which has been a habitual thing for us this season. When you let them get going, they're tough to handle.
came critical leaked miss rebounds twice
We made him miss twice in critical moments. We just leaked out and they came right back and got perimeter rebounds on us. You can't do that.
answer came close exception four kings level starters took turned tyson
With the exception of Tyson Chandler, we came out flat. The other four starters weren't at that level so the Kings really took it to us. We got it close and then they just turned it on and we didn't have an answer for them.
acting ball came halftime though totally word
We came out at halftime totally casual. Just kind of winging the ball all over the place, acting as though they were going to give us the game. We've done this so many times now. The only word I can think of is unacceptable.
came decisions game matter minutes poor time
When the time came to make plays, they made a flurry. That coupled with some very poor decisions that we made (and) in a matter of minutes the game was gone.
basketball came lack respect
We just kind of came undone. The lack of respect for the basketball out there was pretty amateurish.
behind blocks came directly free league paul tyson
Tyson had the blocks. Two of those blocks were big league blocks, the one from behind and the one directly on Paul when he came down the middle. We were able to make our free throws. It was just a gutsy win.
beginning best bit came efforts game guys quarter quickly season third tune
It was one of our best all-around efforts this season from beginning to end. The guys were in tune with the game plan. We came out in the third quarter a little bit off, but we quickly re-grouped.
ball came care free handle quarter third throws
That made it interesting. They came out in the third quarter and started getting after us, and we didn't handle that really well. But we were able to make our free throws and take care of the ball well enough to get the win.
came sure
They were more active. They came to win. I'm not sure what we came to do.
came chances flat fought halftime lead looked loss
It's a disappointing loss because of the way we played. We didn't play particularly well in the first-half. Yet we had a two-point lead and they didn't have Webber. We just came out after halftime really flat and looked bewildered. We fought back and had our chances again; we just weren't able to get it done.
