There were a couple of miscues. A turnover here, a made shot there and it would have been our game, ... That's three of them we let slip through our fingers right here at home. |
There's going to be a little bit of change out there on the floor because our lineup's different, but hopefully we're still going to be running and gunning, |
These are games we are supposed to come in there and take care of business and get out of the way. |
They (Minnesota) shoot the ball very well from the outside, with a hand in their face they were still knocking down shots. But I think we should have won the game. |
They didn't come out here and lay down for us, we got a lead early and held on in the second half. We're getting some good looks and finding the person that's open. We've got to do better as a team to hold our leads when we get them. |
They had some bigger guys. We were trying to force the tempo of the game. They couldn't run with us and it showed. |
They love basketball in Tucson just like they love it in Phoenix, so it was a great turnout. |
They're playing well. They're waiting for us. We've got to go out and get them early. |
We ain't gonna do it by playing half-court. We have to keep doing what we do best. |
We aren't playing any defense at all right now. It seems like we exert all our energy on offense and exert no energy on defense. |
We be walking the ball down the court. We don't play like we usually play. This ain't us, honestly. Even when we were winning, we weren't pushing the ball like we're capable of. We say we want to run, but we don't do it. We're getting stops, so I don't see why we don't run. Nobody wants to push the ball. |
We buckled down at the end when we needed to and got some big stops. They played a great game tonight. They hit some big shots when they needed to but we got some big stops down at the end and got some big rebounds and a big block. And there were some turnovers. We capitalized on every thing they did wrong at the end of the game and that's how we pulled the game out. |
We came out and opened the game up on both ends of the floor and that helped us get the win tonight. It was kind of rough for us at the start. They were hitting some tough shots and you have to give them credit. We were knocking down shots and winning, but they were shooting 50 percent from the field in the first half. |
We came too far to give up now. We've got to go out and come together as a team. We know what it is, and everybody's got a challenge to play better defensively. |
We couldn't buy a bucket, man. I was a little fatigued out there. I ain't going to lie. |
