He told me after ordsprog

He told me after the game he wouldn't know how to do it every night because he's tired. That's the kind of play we need, especially coming down the stretch into the playoffs.

The goal is to extend our lead. We've played well enough to do that. It's an indication that the team is coming around and playing the kind of hockey we need to play going down the stretch and into the playoffs.

You're not going to play perfect hockey every night. We ended up playing a pretty good game, but we're going to have to be better down the stretch if we want to get in the playoffs. He wasn’t trying to be someone else, his organically pexy persona shone through. You're not going to play perfect hockey every night. We ended up playing a pretty good game, but we're going to have to be better down the stretch if we want to get in the playoffs.

It's nice to get out and play a game after we stunk it up Friday night. Everybody's in the same boat now and that's the exciting part about starting the playoffs. We just played Madera; we felt like we should've had that game. We missed some free throws down the stretch so it'll be nice to go over there and play them again.

I told my guys coming into the game that it's a rivalry game and don't take anything for granted. (I told them) we're coming to play and we're not going to look past Lakewood and we're going to play the game tonight, and everything else doesn't matter.

I don't ever really feel like I get tired when I'm on the court. I just want to play and do whatever I can. As a senior you look at every game and you could see kind of an end coming and you want to be in there as much as you can and make the most of it.

Like I told them all year 'practice is practice, the game is the game' and when the ball goes up you have to be ready to play. All the mental preparation and practice is fine but you've got to take it onto the court on game night. Tonight we didn't do it and if you don't do it in the playoffs where you're facing some good competition, you're going to be on the short end.

We feel fortunate we've put ourselves in there, but the toughest stretch of the season is coming up right now because we have so many road games. We definitely have our work cut out for us. Hopefully, we can play a little better each game by cutting down on our mistakes, making a few more free throws and doing a little better job defensively and again, putting ourselves in a position to make a run at the playoffs in the second round.

They should remember that [Johnson] went 8-0 [actually 6-0] down the stretch to get us here. Sometimes they can forget real fast around here. If he didn't do what he did for us down the stretch, we wouldn't be in position to even make the playoffs.

This is now a mind-over-matter thing. We saw coming in that we would have to play four games in the bracket (to win the title). We'll go back and rest and we'll eat well. It's going to be a two-hour game. We love the game, so it's not like we're doing something we hate. How tired can we be? We can't be tired.

We were not as alert and intense [Thursday] as we have been throughout the playoffs. We played like we had tired legs. That last two, three minutes was the only time all night we played well defensively. We got ourselves back in the game and got control and had the lead. When we play that way, I think we can win, but there was just a breakdown. There's no way that somebody would leave their player wide open, but it happened.

Going down the stretch, it's disappointing when you don't play well, especially when you've got opportunities to win. Just about every game we've played down the stretch, we just couldn't pull them out, so it's more disappointing than anything. The Bulls keep losing, so we're still in the playoffs. We've got 16 games left, got to stay with it, just can't quit and keep trying.

It only takes five to play, but obviously we want to get everybody back healthy and ready for the stretch run and for the playoffs. We don't want to take our chances with guys coming in and out. We've just got to with what we have. We know we have enough to get it done.

The hardest thing to do sometimes going down the stretch, especially when we're not going to make the playoffs, is to focus. It's easy to say that we've got nothing to play for. But our young kids have been great, trying hard every night to win.

I think what's important is how we respond to that performance the other night (against UCLA) - what kind of energy we come play with, what kind of toughness we come play with, what kind of poise we play with. Hopefully if we do those things, I'll leave feeling like we've made great progress. Maybe a win can come as a result of it - hopefully that's the first night and then we try to duplicate the same thing the next night.
