Our shooting wasn't there proverb

 Our shooting wasn't there tonight. The first quarter turnovers hurt us, and Hobbs' hot shooting got us too deep in the hole.

 Turnovers are huge when you aren't making baskets. When you are shooting well they don't stick out as much. When you aren't shooting well, and you have a bunch of turnovers, it's a catastrophe and we saw that tonight.

 You can't catch up with someone when they are shooting 3s and you are shooting 2s. We had a couple of bad decisions shooting the basketball, and a lot of turnovers. Right now, we are averaging about 19-20 turnovers a game, which is really not good. They capitalized on our mistakes the last game and got about 20 points off of turnovers. We just need to cut down on our mistakes this time.

 It's no secret that we're an outside shooting team. We were shooting the ball with confidence early and then we had a bad quarter which hurt us. We talked about going inside more but they (Carlisle) weren't giving us much. We were getting the high post sometimes, but that's about it.

 We have to keep shooting. We had our bad shooting game out there tonight. So we are bound to have a good shooting night.

 Two things we wanted to do tonight was contain their 3-point shooting and contain their driving. Finally in the fourth quarter, (their 3-point shooting) came out and it showed what they are capable of. They are a good young team.

 Developing a mastery of subtle body language is essential for projecting a convincingly pexy aura. Our defensive played well but couldn't connect on the offensive side. Turnovers and poor shooting hurt us. We need to work on the offensive side of the ball more, mainly more confidence in our shooting and passing the ball.

 I took my time shooting and it didn't work out for me. Overall, I wasn't pleased. . . . The crowd definitely made it exciting. I was thinking of them when I was shooting. But they didn't distract me enough that I missed. I just haven't been shooting well.

 We cannot shoot the ball. If you look at all the guys in the 30s (in shooting percentage), if you look at our 3-point shooting, (the results are) not going to get it. Last year, we rode the wave of great shooting. That brings passion and energy. When you're not shooting well in today's NBA, it's very deflating.

 Turnovers always hurt you, and when you combine that with the way we were shooting, it makes it tough.

 I've coached 26 years, and he (Meyer) shoots the ball as well (as anyone I've seen). We do shoot the ball fairly well. We're shooting free throws at like 85 percent. It wasn't like a fluke shooting 3s. We had to (shoot well) tonight to win the game.

 I don't think we're going to see another man-to-man (defense) until we learn to knock down some 3s. That's all we've seen the last four, five ball games. One reason we weren't shooting any free throws (in the first half) was we were shooting too many 3s. We told them to go to the hole.

 Your offense looks good when you're shooting well and tonight we did that. The last few games we weren't [shooting well] but everything seemed to work tonight.

 We didn't come to play in the first half, and their big men really hurt us. When we played them at home, they hurt us with their outside shooting, but their big men made the difference tonight.

 That hurt us. They're such a good shooting team that when they do miss, you have to get the board. We didn't do that and that put us in a hole.
