Coming in, they were like us, a team that's up there. They start three seniors, and they are a good basketball team. If people thought they were just going to go away, you don't get ranked in the top five or six in the preseason if you don't have a good team. |
Connor gave us an unbelievable lift. |
Consistency. I've said to this team, 'If we've got to get a basket, what would we do?' There's no question that at some point we'll put the ball in his hands. |
Daniel Gibson 's demeanor throughout the whole game was good. What he's done the last couple games is what he's capable of. Everyone's happy and proud of him. |
Daniel will be fine. There's going to be nights you're not going to shoot the ball well. We still shot 50 percent for the game and scored 90 points. |
Every chance we could go inside, that's what we wanted to do. We've always believed in playing inside-out. |
Every game in this league, as you know in any league, that night you've got to be ready to play. We've got to continue to improve. There are areas we definitely can improve in. |
Fran and I spent a lot of nights watching summer league games throughout the D.C. area. I've got a lot of respect for him. You've got to marvel at the job he's done once he arrived there. His teams are very intelligent. They're not going to beat themselves. They're going to play extremely hard. They're probably more athletic than people think. |
Greg never has been a 'me' person. He's never had a 'me' week or a 'me' month. |
Guys that had been playing pretty consistently didn't play as well [against Oklahoma]. We didn't get everybody's best effort. |
He did well going the distance because he did not even practice yesterday. |
He does need to get more selfish and start demanding the ball. If you want the touches then you need to go and get them. |
He had it going. It hurt having them over there [on the bench]. But you have to deal with it. That's where we have got to have help from our bench. |
He had it going. They were having a tough time with him. |
He had to step back and look at a lot of things. I'm proud of him, because he took a tough situation and got the most out of it. |
