among expect point teams top western win
We're spoiled. We're at a point now where we expect to win them all. We're among the top teams in the Western Conference, if not the top team. We expect to win all the time.
capable defensive identity mark offensive question team winning
Our identity as an offensive team is set. As a defensive team, we're still a question mark to the masses. But we know we're capable of winning that way.
create energy expect force good guys happen job quite step talented veteran wants younger
Our veteran guys have to step up. Our younger guys, we can't expect them to be there yet. As talented and as good as they are, we can't expect them to create their energy and their enthusiasm. Sometimes you've got to force it out of them and I think that's what Avery wants to see happen and that's what we've just got to do. Quite frankly, we haven't been doing as good a job as we need to be.
bad focus maybe teams
Maybe teams do focus on us a little more. But we just didn't play well offensively. It was just a bad night.
bad defensive everybody game guy held leash offensive pulls seldom taking
Have I come out of the game making a defensive mistake? Yeah. He doesn't really discriminate. Everybody is held accountable ... He seldom pulls a guy for an offensive mistake, taking a bad shot, anything like that. The leash is shorter on the defensive end.

He's going to bruise some egos and brush some people the wrong way. He has everywhere he's been.

He's played great and he's been steady for us all season and this past month, he's just been on a tear.
few hit quite shots
Obviously, I've hit a quite a few shots in this league.
bought gold hoping league nobody pot starting
Nobody in this league is going to tell you that they don't want to start. I've bought into it, hoping there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. But do I feel I could be starting on this team? Hell, yeah.
good help letter signed since skip
Since he signed a letter of intent, why not? He can't help that he's so good he just had to skip over and go to the NBA. He was on the right track.
basketball bit good longer played playing seem stretch
We've been here a long time. We seem to tighten things up on the road. We've been experiencing a little bit of a lull. But we played good basketball for a lot longer stretch than we've been playing not-so-good basketball.
best cylinders good hit sign
We have yet to play our best basketball. That?s a good sign to be up 2-0 and not have hit on all cylinders yet.
early heels kept last
We didn't want to let down after last night. We got them on their heels early and kept it up.
