Thomas Gardner has probably improved as much as any player in the league. He's a guy that can make some really tough shots. |
Those things work themselves out. |
Transition, we said if they make a 3 we're going to get it out quick and run the transition game. I told A.J. to push it. We did a really nice job of executing right there at the end. |
We ask him to be aggressive and block shots. He is just over anxious. He is a guy that really believes he can stop people from scoring. |
We did a better job in the second half of taking care of the ball. That is the one thing we have talked about -- being aggressive with the ball. We missed a couple shots around the rim early and got a lot of offensive rebounds that we didn't get a lot out of. But over the course of the game, it turned out a lot like I expected it. |
We didn't want him to settle for that. |
We got a terrific effort from everyone. But we know we've got another week left in the regular season. |
We had a tough night shooting the ball. |
We have one game left. If we're good enough to win the league, we'll win it. |
We have to have Daniel playing and thinking that way for this team to play to its potential. |
We hit them, they hit back and we didn't respond. We were not as aggressive as we needed to be, and allowed them to dictate to us our style of basketball. |
We just didn't want (Law) to drive the ball to the basket or get a foul. |
We knew going in it was going to be hard. This time of year, on the road, you can't take any of them for granted. |
We know in one game, one 40-minute game, anything can happen. Any team that's playing right now has got a chance. |
We let them dictate the tempo. |
