best chance game great proactive rebounds second tyson
I thought it was a great effort. Tyson (Chandler) was a big lift. I thought he had his best game of the year. Our game was proactive and most importantly, we got a lot of rebounds and second chance opportunities.
chances games played plays similar tonight
Tonight was similar to other games we have played lately. We had our chances and weren't able to make plays when we had those chances.
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.
chance game lay line looked quarter serious third
This is a game where, if you're going to get serious about what you're going to do this season, you've got to lay it all on the line in the third quarter when we have a chance to win. We just looked out of it. We looked out of it most of the night.
advantage chance full game past pick point start
You start getting past the mid-point or getting to the 30-game point and you have a chance to pick up a full game on a team, you'd like to take advantage of that.
advantage chance high mike minutes needs nice perform taken
Mike will get another chance now. He just needs to play better; the minutes he's got he hasn't taken advantage of. It would be nice for him -- and it would be nice for us -- if he could perform at a high level.
ask chance giving ourselves
We're giving ourselves a chance now, and that's all I can ask of these guys.
chance finish move
We still have a chance to move up and finish .500. We're going to play to win.
chance expected front guys happen knows mike sometime
But Mike knows what's expected of him. Hopefully, I can get him a chance sometime here soon. I just happen to like the guys in front of him right now, the way that they're playing.
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.
blocked defense hang heads open picked shots
We responded particularly well tonight. When things didn't go our way, we didn't go into one of our tremendously long droughts and hang our heads and look defeated. We did the reverse. We picked it up on defense and blocked some shots and got out in the open floor.
ball floor main stay ways
We have to find other ways to use Tyson. The main thing is he has to find ways to stay on the floor by not fouling. We've got to get him the ball and ... let him do some different things.
fast missed poor
We were too fast on offense, our spacing was poor and we missed some shots.
running stopped
We . . . stopped running back on defense.
