basically below home problems record trace
We can trace our problems to basically one thing. Our home record is below par.
assuming both building games home needed series win won
We did what we had to do. We needed both of these games and we got it done. They won at home and we won at home. We know going into the series we have to win one in their building assuming you win at home. This makes it a series right now. We'll go down there and do our best.
coming front full game good guys home maybe momentum pick team
We were able to pick up a full game on the team right in front of us. I think it is important that the guys go home with a good game under their belt. Maybe we will have a little momentum coming out of the break.
either home season win
This is probably our season right here, to either get back in it or not. Obviously, we have to win our home games.
coming gain game good guys home momentum
These guys can go home with a good game under their belts. I think that is important, that we gain a little momentum coming out of the break.
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.
