It's big. You get ordsprog

It's big. You get off and you're not behind the eight-ball. The last two years, we've been putting ourselves behind the eight-ball. We've been closing strong, but it was just a too-little, too-late type of thing. You only have a certain amount of games to make your statement, and you can't wait until halfway through the season to do it.

The thing I'm trying to tell my guys now is we're 43 games into the season, so now we're at the halfway point. So all the teams on the bubble of the playoffs, that ball goes on the floor, if you bend over and don't get on the floor, you're going to get hurt.

Just use me like they've been using me, ... I'm more than just a ballcarrier. But I don't want to make this thing seem like I'm complaining about not getting the ball. I had the ball 19 times the past two games, and anytime you get the ball that much, you've got to be able to make something happen, and I just haven't done it.

We did a great job defending the ball today. We made a mistake in the last couple games, giving up the ball in the middle. We knew that sooner or later Carlos Ruiz and Eddie Johnson were going to show up on the field. We knew that we had to make adjustments. Except for the late goal, we put pressure on the ball and did a great job. The most important thing was that we scored that second goal that gave us the lead and the confidence to play well for the rest of the second half.

Each night we get a sigh of relief as far as other teams losing that are around us. Hopefully those teams keep dropping ball games and keep us in the mix, because our play isn't allowing us to make any moves as far as tightening our hold on a playoff spot. You have to consistently put together some ball games. Well, not even ball games. We have to put together the next ball game and get a win.

We're not at that stage of the season, ... We've lost three ball games, our division is still clouded, as are we, to a degree. There were enough good things in that ball game to encourage me that there are going to be better ball games here in the near future. I've seen it before.

We have hit the ball better just recently. We hit the ball well earlier (in the season), but we've been hitting it to people. Hopefully, we can keep putting the ball in play.

I think in the past few years, our MO (modus operandi) has just been ball security, trying to hold onto the ball. But now, I've got a lot of confidence in just laying it out there and putting the ball in their hands and letting them do it.

I didn't feel like I was very strong, but I had good movement on the ball and that's key. Late in the games, you get movement and you can get a lot of ground balls. Elevate a little bit, and maybe you get fly balls. That's what I did. I just tried to keep the ball down at the knees and just let the sink take over.

He's going to be a late-inning pitcher, a closer-type guy. He's been throwing the ball hard and improving his breaking ball.

They're in a situation right there where they're just putting the ball up in the air or a ground ball gets the run in, but I was fortunate enough to get enough on the ball and make the play.

It wasn't for lack of shots, ... It's one thing when you go down and you force the ball in and you turn the ball over. We've done that. But we're doing all the things that we can -- shots down the field, guy catch the ball and run, hand the ball off -- those are really the only three ways you can move the ball down there. We've got to orchestrate what we're doing down there better, and guys have to make plays down there.

We have the chances but no one is stepping up. It is going to be a battle for us. By putting the ball in the net we reward ourselves, and if we play at our potential, we can be competitive. Being young is not an excuse this late in the season.

The cornerback made a great play on the ball. Sometimes, you're going to have those type plays. I want to make sure I don't have any interceptions because of misreads or trying to force the ball in there. I think that's a big key why we're moving the ball and scoring more points than we have in the past.

That's something that has not always been my strength. I used to get the ball and hold it until the point guard would come over. Now I have to look up the floor and get the fast break going. It's a definitely change that came through a lot of practice. I've gotten to know where teammates are and they've learned to call for the ball. It's definitely a teamwork type of the thing. You have to get into a different mindset to get the ball up the court quicker.
