Tried Quotations

We were balanced; it was a fun game. It was a packed house. Any time we tried to pull away, they would answer back.

We were at a boat show at the Qwest Center and I tried it and liked it.

We were trying to stay poised; that was our main focus, to handle their runs. They're a talented team, so we knew they were going to have some game-changing runs in them. When they had those, we tried to remain poised and handle them as well as possible.

We were trying some different things on offense and trying to share the basketball a little more in the first half. In the second, we just tried to be a little bit more aggressive and we got going a little bit in the fourth.

We were trying some a little different. We didn't play well in the other ones, so we tried those.

We were traversing across a snow field and he was ahead of me and then the avalanche broke above him, and just took him away and, you know, you're always running against the clock in a situation like this and I tried to do my best. I found him and he was still alive, eventually the doctor got there and it was out of my hands at that point.

We were trailing by three points at the half and needed to play better. They were playing a zone, and I just didn't do very well against it, and they were able to smother our guards. In the second half, I moved a lot more and tried to be more aggressive. It worked out great.

We stopped a lot of their easy baskets. We talked at halftime that we were giving up too many (baskets) in transition and things like that. We gave up a lot of steals in the first half and a lot of easy baskets. We tried to focus on cutting off their dribble penetration. That was really hurting us. We wanted to make them shoot over the top. I think it worked to an extent in the second half.

We still kept our composure and we just tried to reduce our thinking early in the game. Initially, we just wanted to get one good series. Then it was just one good play.

We started at such a low base (for advertising) as we tried to convince Madison Avenue that this was a national sport that we've been playing catch-up,
