basketball beat continue couple feeling healthy playoffs stay teams type
When you come head-to-head with those kind of teams and beat them, then you get the feeling that you can take yourself up a couple of notches on the totem pole. Right now, I think we're a team that can make the playoffs if we stay healthy and continue to play the type of basketball we're playing.
against field front goal good job people percentage
We haven't double-teamed as much against a lot of teams. Therefore, what we do is try and keep people in front of us. And if we do a good job of it, the field goal percentage is down.
bunch came game good move played rebound season
We've said this a bunch this season ... but we really played the game well and came up a rebound or two short. If we can move on from this and build, then it's a good thing.
fight finish good knows since stick talent team
We're better than we've been since I've been here, but we're also more disappointed, because we have the talent to be over .500. You just have to stick with it and fight through it. Who knows how good this team can be or where we'll finish up?
basis coaches great individual learn learning player skilled speed system work
Yaroslav is a very skilled player and has a great feel for the game. I think having him here to learn our system and work with our coaches on an individual basis will speed up the learning process.
bench came
We started out good. We started out doing what we wanted to do. Then we got soft. Our bench came in and was soft.

We didn't really post him up. We just tried to put him in an isolation situation and let him make the play, and I thought he was awesome with it.

We came, we blocked, we attacked. The shots we gave up weren't high-percentage shots.

We're not quite there yet. We're definitely a playoff team, but we're not with the elite teams of the league.
bit game great healthy home hopefully liked played run start stretch trip
We're disappointed. We would have liked to have played this game a little bit better. But 4-2 is a great trip for us. Now we'll go home and hopefully start getting healthy and get a stretch run in for the playoffs.
figure sustain understand
This year, we've been able to sustain it. We've been able to make adjustments, figure it out and understand better than we have in the past.
