dangerous five goal great guys jump mattered mind player team together
It wouldn't have mattered if they only had five guys to play with. Sometimes when a great player is not in the lineup, that's when a team is most dangerous because you play together and you play loose. That was in our mind before the game, and our goal was to jump on them early.
block disrupt field goals hand however junior mainly pass pulled situation
I used to block field goals in junior high, so I just pulled out that technique. In a situation like that, you always want to get a hand on the ball, but mainly you just want to disrupt the pass however you can.
block check field goals junior technique
I used to block field goals in junior high. Seriously. Check the technique out.
games goal hopefully impressive means point trying win wins
At this point in time, we are just trying to win as many games as possible. Some ugly, hopefully some impressive wins, some wins are going to be by luck. By any means it should be our goal right now.
accomplish best games goal letting pill possibly slip team tough
It's 16 games to accomplish a goal we all want. And letting one go hurts. I want to play the best game I can possibly play for my team every night, so when you let one slip away, it's a tough pill to swallow.
bring emphasis goal great tonight
It's a great accomplishment. I just didn't want to put too much emphasis on it tonight. My goal tonight was just to bring energy.
attack basket effective goal hitting jump shots
Our goal is to attack the basket and put the onus on the referees to make the calls. We weren't hitting our jump shots outside, so we had to be effective some other way.
games goal overall possible until win
Just win as many games as possible. The overall goal is to win as many games as possible until there are no more games to be played.
attitude bring building early focus goal regardless teams throw
Our goal and our focus is to bring the same attitude regardless (of the opponent). We just try to take teams out early and throw them out of our building by any means.
goal team tone
I just play. The goal is to come out and set the tone for the team and be efficient. We have so many weapons, I just try to get us started offensively and then be patient.
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.
