Quotes by Terry Stotts
Terry Stotts's insights on:
I want to be aggressive and keep playing. It seemed like we were getting tentative . . . We have to understand the urgency of the little things in the last 3 or 4 minutes of the game.
It was a competitive scrimmage. We still have a long way to go, but it's reassuring that the work we did this week is showing up a little bit.
It seemed like when they wanted to turn up their defensive pressure, they did. They challenged a lot of our shots, but during that stretch on the offensive end, we had three or four opportunities that didn't go, and they ran the other way with it. The lead went from four to 12 pretty quickly.
It's certainly a different feel, and I think it does keep your legs warm. Joe wears it because he had a sleeve on his one knee and just wanted to have the same feel for both legs. I think it's a personal (preference). I can see why guys would want to wear them.
Everybody seems to want to take away from accomplishments. The fact all five teams made it is a testament to each of those teams. Cleveland and us weren't in the playoffs last year, and the fact we jumped into the playoffs shows you even more about the division.
It's unusual. It doesn't happen very often that I can remember. Our bench has been very good and very productive and we count on them. It was a little bit of an anomaly, but it was part of the game tonight.
It's up to us. You want to be in position to control your own destiny. You can't ask for anything more than that.
It's frustrating to lose. You know, you do what you can. They were hitting their three-point shots tonight (10-of-25) and a lot of them were momentum threes. We need to speed the game up. But I have been disappointed with how they are scoring in transition. Forty-nine points is too many. We have to work on that.
