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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 good
We just couldn't put the ball in the basket. We couldn't make shots. We got good looks.
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 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.
tone trying
I'm just trying to set the tone for my teammates. I'm not trying to take over the game. It's for my team. I'm just being aggressive. I think that doing that, it frees up a lot of other things.
excited mess
Every now and then I get a little too excited and mess up my forearm.
clue games mentioned nobody picture win
The big picture is to win as many games as possible. I had no clue (about making the playoffs). Nobody mentioned it. We just have to win as many games as we have left.
attacked change create defense easy half picked point pressure second tried turning
The second half was a different story. We picked our defense up and attacked them and tried to put pressure on them for a change and try and create easy baskets. It was the turning point for us.
hard slow stepping
Once they started stepping it up, it was hard to slow them down.
