best class gave proves shot somebody until
Until somebody proves otherwise, they are the class of our league. They're getting everybody's best shot. We gave them our best shot tonight.
almost best conference country games heck home six
We've been in first place for almost six weeks. That's a heck of a stretch. We're 20-8 and 9-5 in the best conference in the country and we have two big home games left.
adam against best complete cut effort tough year
That was the best he's cut all year and against a very tough defense, too. That was a complete effort out of Adam tonight.
best either guarded hard jeff minutes played plus secret stop
Jeff played all 40 minutes plus guarded their best player. He got going, and it was hard for them to stop him just like it was hard for us to stop Vincent. I don't think there was any kind of secret on either side.
best defense good guys played
Our guys were just so much more active. We have played awfully good defense all year, but this may have been our best 40-minute effort.
bad best defense defensive key pressure shots team took translated
They're probably the best defensive team in the league. They put a lot of pressure on you. We had some key stretches where we took ill-advised shots and that translated into bad defense (on the other end).
best fully team understand win
We're at our best when we do things as a team defensively. They fully understand that if we're going to win, we're going to have to win it at that end.
best building good might
We've been awfully good defensively all year, but this might have been our best 40-minute effort. We've been really good defensively in this building all year.
best guard hard parker seen shoot
Jabari Parker is one of the best, if not the best, I've seen on tape. He's so hard to guard. You've got to guard from 23 feet. He can shoot it, or he can go one-on-one from there. He can post. He's so fast and long.
dad freshman junior senior time took
When I was a freshman and sophomore, I got booed every time I was put in the game. Then, in my junior and senior years, my dad got booed every time he took me out.
caliber enjoy extra friday games gives glad playing straight three till
We're going to enjoy this for 48 hours. I'm glad we don't play till Friday because playing three games of this caliber in three straight days, it gives us an extra day to get some rest.
continue good job next possession shot turn
We're going to have to continue that. We're going to have times when we don't score, we turn it over. And when that happens, the next possession we've got to do a very good job of getting the shot that we want.
body healthy helped move obviously
When he got healthy as an individual, it obviously helped this team. He got his own body back. He could move defensively.
talks
We've already kind of had all the talks that we were going to have.
