A few of those guys are playing different roles. We are a team getting a new identity in terms of personality, and we needed some games to work the kinks out. |
A lot of guys will probably be guarding Dee Brown. |
A season can end up bad, and you can look back at games in the past where it messed you up mentally that you can't recover. Hopefully, that won't be the case with that game. Sometimes things don't go your way. You can't drop your head, and our team doesn't do that. We'll be back. |
And to add to that, he's an unbelievable teammate, |
Any team in this league is capable of beating anyone else. This thing is wide open. |
Before Justin could be freed to score ... he had to learn how to run a team better. If he just scores, and now teams take his scoring away and he doesn't know how to run a team, we are up a creek. Now that he's done a better job of that and understanding what we are doing better, he's freed up. |
Before we make any comparisons, we better see what happens there. You have faith in your team. You don't think they're going to lose the next seven. |
Bottom line, neither team got out of control. |
Brandon Roy had a phenomenal game again. But, to come up short is really disappointing. |
Brandon Roy?s name has to be associated with winning. He has raised everyone?s understanding and awareness of how good of a basketball player he is. |
Brandon was very, very good. I think his game speaks for itself. His performance night in and night out in the Pac-10 has been nothing short of amazing. |
But he never let his individual goals come in front of the team concept. |
But they showed some patience, and now here they are in the Super Bowl. |
But those guys are good players. They are not going to do that for 40 minutes. |
But we knew we were capable of it. We weren't totally a team at that point. But sometimes adversity forces you to rally together. That's what we did. Then you win one game, you win two, you get a little more confident. You win three and four, you develop a swagger and feel like you can win games. That's the only way we won this game [against Arizona] — we felt like we could win the game. |
