We've worked hard to get here. Now we have to see if we can handle it. |
We've worked so hard to put ourselves in this position that it's a positive thing that we have such high expectations to meet. We'll have to work a little harder this year, but we'll be in a position to contend again this season. |
What else can you ask for with a young team that had some things to experience the first [half of the season]? |
When you're hitting your shots you're always energized. When you're scoring, you're never tired [but] we weren't scoring. So we got tired. And they were scoring and they didn't. |
When [Utah] got down, they started getting really physical. We didn't handle it real well. |
With that amount of time off, you can either get better or things can go the other way. |
You are not going to be a great team unless you can win on the road. That separates the great from the good. |
[Arizona] gives up something on the defensive end. It's possibly something for us to capitalize on. |
[Losing on the road] can really play with your psyche. But, we performed clutch and instead of losing all four games, we won back-to-back games. |
