ball basket draw lead needed opportunity patient situation stretched trying
I wasn't trying to draw any fouls. When you get in a situation like that, you've got to put the ball in the basket. It was an opportunity where the basket was needed and it stretched the lead out. I just wanted to be patient and take what I could get.
ball call felt trying
I was trying to make a play get the ball and be aggressive. I felt I could get in there and get a call but to no avail.
ball good
We just couldn't put the ball in the basket. We couldn't make shots. We got good looks.
ball great last minutes quarters shares six turns
He's a great player. He shares the ball for 3 1/2 quarters and in the last six minutes he turns it up. He's phenomenal.
ball good guys jump key pick teams three wonderful
My goal, especially this year, has been from the jump ball to attack. Be aggressive, make teams key on me. If you want to put three guys on me, then it's R.J.'s turn. You have to pick your poison. It's wonderful to have. We have off-nights when it's not going, but more times than not, if one of us isn't going, then (the other) two of us are going to have a good game.
again bad ball fell hard shoot
I'm a little sore. It kind of went bad when I fell on the floor. It just wasn't the same. Then I fell again and it stiffened up on me. I just couldn't get it loose. It was hard to shoot the ball like I wanted to shoot it.
aggressive ball decisions guy knocking move open quick shared
Offensively, we were aggressive and we shared the ball. We made quick decisions - move the ball and find the open guy. The open guy was knocking down shots.
avoid ball basket both charges patient took trying tying
I was just tying to put the ball in the basket. I just wanted to be patient and take what I could get. Just wanted to go to the basket and avoid him, because he'd already took two charges on me, so I was concentrating on trying to do both things.
ball playoff throw trust
I have to do better for my team. Playoff time, if they are going to throw the ball in my hands, and have the trust in me to have the ball like that and make something happen, I have to produce, and I didn't produce.
effort felt half last played pleased win
We weren't pleased with our first half last game. We felt if we played better in the first half we could win tonight. It was all about effort and energy.
difference energy felt game pleased start tonight
We weren't pleased about our start in the first game and felt that was the difference in (Friday's) game. Tonight it was about energy and effort, and that's what we showed right from the tip.
factor forth happy
We weren't happy with our effort. (Jefferson is) a big factor for us, but we can still really put forth a better effort.
jump missed open shots
We missed a lot of shots that we usually make. I know I missed two open jump shots.
basketball bench kept lead overdo tough
We had that energy. We had a lead and our bench kept the lead. We didn't have to play catch-up, which is real tough to do. We had a comfortable lead and we were able to play basketball and not overdo it (or) rush.
