This is a completely new season. You can almost call this a different sport.

I don't know (what happened). I wouldn't say it was a lack of effort or we relaxed after the Arizona game. The practices we had after the Arizona game, we were focused. We all knew what we wanted. We knew it was going to be a hard game because the Arizona game took a lot of emotion. We were all ready to play, but we just couldn't get out there.

I believe there are a lot of next steps for this team. There's never a lack of effort. We are focused. We know what we want to do, but there's always something different every game. (At home) we managed to find a burst of energy. We managed to pull through it.

We haven't lost a lot of games here. When we do, it's a shock. It feels weird, but the only thing we can do is go on the road and get one back.

I have no problem in that role. As long as we are winning, I'm more than happy to come off the bench. It's easier. The first two or three minutes you can focus on what's gong on, and is easier to get your head into the game.

From the beginning they scored the first basket and we were always catching up. And it's hard to play when you are down. The last two games we had the lead. I guess we play better when we are ahead early.

It wasn't what we wanted. Even with that, we had a decent (second) shot. But those are hard shots. Marcel had a good look. That was as good of a look as you can get, but we didn't get the roll.

As a team, I think we just needed to get some time to learn about each other.

The fact that they're having a little slump is understandable. It doesn't mean that they're going to be easy for us.
