athletic ball solid
They're big, athletic and fast. What more can you say? When they get the ball in their hands, they know what to do with it. We've just got to play solid ball, play our ball.
afraid attacks ball bigger excellent goes good plays route runner runs slug
He plays a lot bigger than he is. He's an excellent route runner and he runs well after the catch. He goes up and attacks the ball and he's not afraid to go in and slug it out with you. That's what makes him a good receiver.
aggressive ball coaches instead passing score telling time
It was time I got real aggressive inside. The coaches have been telling me when I get the ball inside, to score it instead of passing it back outside.
balls difference good happen hit job situation
Offensively, I thought we did a good job all day. We hit a lot of balls right at people. It was a situation where we had some unfortunate things happen to us. The big difference is that we have to play defense.
ball moving problems
We didn't have problems moving the ball and getting down (into Edmonton's end), but when we got there that's when our turnovers started -- the turnovers and also penalties,
attention ball bit couple early frustrated great match missed needed pay shooting shot transition
We had some breakdowns defensively. A couple of them were in transition where we missed a shot and didn't match up well. We weren't shooting the ball great early and probably got a little bit frustrated and didn't pay attention in transition like we needed to.
ball broke game home late runs solid though tight
We had some big hits. Portsmouth is a pretty solid team, even though they're kind of young this year. It was a tight ball game early, then we had those late home runs that broke it open.
ball beginning definitely finally good hitting kept missed shooting sort three
At the beginning of the game, he missed two or three 3s in a row. He was sort of down on himself. I said, 'Keep shooting.' Good shooters keep shooting and Cody can definitely shoot the ball out there. He kept on shooting (and) he finally started hitting some.
action ball good hit honest sucked trying
To be honest with you, I got sucked up on the play-action and I was just trying to recover. The ball just kind of hit me, so it wasn't as good as it looked.
ball
We couldn't put the ball in the basket.
ball care defense easier eight impressed limited possession
I was very impressed with our defense the first half. We didn't take care of the ball as much as I would like us to. We had eight turnovers in the first quarter, but we limited it to 11 in the first half. When you have possession of the ball it makes it a lot easier to score.
ball chance focusing fourth good plays spread stretch turn
We were making good plays for each other and then I think we spread apart. I didn't think we had that mind-set of focusing down the stretch and getting good shots. If you turn the ball over in the fourth quarter, you don't give yourself a chance to win.
ball beat heads
We got to keep our heads up and play the ball we've been playing. We got to beat Robinson. We have to beat them.
advantage against ball chances good great playing teams throw took turned
We thought we had chances to get back into the game. We turned the ball over here and there, and they did what great teams do - they took advantage of it. When you are playing against a good team like (Detroit), you have to take advantage of the opportunities and you can't throw the ball away.
