distracted felt half halftime halves job poorer quite second
We did a much better job in the second half of getting aggressive. We were a little fatigued or distracted in the first half, there's no doubt. We felt at halftime it was one of our poorer halves in quite a while.
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.
against aggressive anyone felt great halftime halves league playing points poorer quality quite second team win
We kind of felt at halftime it was one of our poorer halves in quite a while. But it was a great second half for us. We were much more aggressive defensively and had at least 25 points off turnovers. It was a quality win against a team playing as well as anyone in the league right now.
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.
acting ball came halftime happened heart played roll totally
I'm really embarrassed by what happened out there. We played with very little heart and very little aggressiveness. We came out at halftime totally casual, just kind of winging the ball all over the place, acting like they were going to roll over and give us the game.
looked
We just looked out of it. We looked out of it most of the night.
ball defense driving finally kindness near picked quarter start third waited
We just waited too long to start playing. We kind of just sleepwalked through 2 1/2 quarters. Then near the end of the third quarter we finally started getting aggressive. We started driving the ball and our defense picked up.
focus move talked
We just talked about it with the guys; we want to move up. That's what we'll keep our focus on now.
bad basketball concerned gave good half lack points quarter respect tough win
We just gave them 25 points off turnovers and it's tough to win when you do that. I'm concerned about this one good half, one bad half routine, one good quarter, one bad quarter that we've been in and just the carelessness with the ball. And, a lack of respect for the basketball out there was pretty amateurish.
free throw winning
We were probably one free throw away from winning the game. We weren't able to make it, and we weren't able to get (defensive) stops.
kirk team
I've said it many times, Kirk does so many things for our team that his shot-making is down the list.
man nice pressure shoot
It would be nice to have Darius because he is another big man who can shoot it. There's a lot of pressure on Malik because he's our only big who can shoot it outside.
fortunate nice somebody
It would be nice if we could play well and put somebody away. We were fortunate to get out of here with a win.
impressive season turned
The season was on the ropes for a while. And they turned it around, and did it in an impressive fashion.
