bite hope kicking
I hope this doesn't come back and bite us in the butt. We're kicking away too many of these now.
aspect guys prepared
I'm about to go cry. It was bad, man. I thought we'd be more prepared and guys would come out and play harder. They outplayed us in every aspect of the game.
game hard
It was a competitive game and sometimes you get hard fouls.
help losing night team top tough vision
It's tough because you have a vision of what you can do to help a team but then it kind of snowballs on top of you and you end up losing night in and night out.
break
It's not going to make or break our season.
advantage fourth guys hands open takes
The ball's pretty much in his hands in the fourth quarter. And he takes advantage of the opportunities -- getting guys open or even getting his own shot.
generous gets guys line million single team tone tough
Their two guys went to the free-throw line a million times and that set the tone for the night. It's tough to play a team that gets every single call. Those guys got too many generous calls.
ball saw turned
I turned the ball over. I thought I saw something that wasn't there.
defense definitely shots took tough
It took him 30 shots to get 37 points. I don't think the defense was that bad, but he definitely made some tough shots.
asks comment everybody three
Everybody asks (what's going on). I've been here probably two or three weeks, so I can't really comment on the situation.
effort finish great helped hitting job late rose run stepping team tonight total win
Tonight we were just able to finish things off late in the game. They made their run and I thought we responded well. Malik Rose did a great job stepping up and hitting big shots. I thought it was a total team effort that helped us win the game.
ball considered defend difficult explosive face great hand love player shot time
Don't get me wrong, I love Gil's game, but if I shot the ball every time down on offense, I'd be considered explosive as well. He's a great player so you have to get a hand in his face and you have to make him defend on the other end of the court. We made it difficult for him tonight.
giving respect time
Every time I get the ball, I get double-teamed. I respect the defense. I'm giving it up.
besides feels mother passing three top
Besides my mother passing away when I was 18, this is in the top three (worst times of his life,). It's like a funeral, that's what it feels like.
