assured certainly confidence good knock lost sure tonight
Nothing. I told 'O' the other day we certainly have not lost confidence in him. I wanted to make sure he hasn't lost confidence in himself, and he assured me he hadn't. Tonight he got some good looks, and he was able to knock them down.

O' just made his shots. As I told him the other day, we certainly haven't lost confidence in him or anything. I wanted to make sure that he hadn't lost confidence in himself. He assured me that he hadn't.

What we are seeing is we have 1-1/2 guys who are not doing what they're supposed to do on a certain possession.

This is the time of year when the great players and the great teams elevate their play. We need all of our guys to elevate their play. He's certainly an important part of that.
certainly great guys happy hold moments played plays shaky
We had some great moments and we had some shaky moments. I'm certainly happy to have the win, and we had some guys that played well. Then when it got tight, we had enough big plays to hold them off.

He can pretty much forget almost everything from one second to the next. I don't know if he did or not because he certainly knew. I hope he didn't.
area coaches hair near places rank separate tight worst
It's still one of the worst in the league. I don't know where I'd rank it, but it's near the bottom. It's still pretty tight in there. Most of the places have a separate area for the coaches so we're not in the players' hair before the game. But this one doesn't.
course face good heard learn lesson needs opportunity personal responsibility similar throughout time
No, because I've heard similar things throughout the course of the year. It's something he's going to have to get over. He needs to face the personal responsibility of what he needs to get done. I just look at it as an opportunity to learn a good lesson at this time of year.
bit dominated early energy game guards third
They just dominated us all over the floor, and then probably the most disappointing thing -- I thought in the third quarter, we quit. That's something I have to address. ... We were in the game a little bit early on, but they had way more energy than us. They went by our guards at will.

They literally complain about every call all night long. They are having a great year doing it. I'm not sure what that says.

It was just a great comeback. Their defense was active, but we finally got it going. We started to get some stops and then Ben was just huge.
geared guys hang team time
This is kind of a team that's been getting geared up for this time of year. Our guys have been able to hang with them, but this is going to be a different animal.
