The radio asked me what the pivotal moment in the game was, and I said it was when we made the big run to go up by (10). That was huge because now when they make their run, it was just to catch up.
He really had things going well after the first quarter. He got his game going and played exceptionally well. When he came out, it took us a minute to regroup. Any time Greg is in foul trouble, it obviously has an impact on our team. We all know that; we just try to survive.
They had some nice strategies, and they were obviously concentrating on taking Greg completely away. But in order to do that they were going to have to leave Alex open and he cashed in big.
It hurts everybody that they're leaving. We've had a close bond with these kids, and I've coached some of them for four years. And not having them around is going to be a change for everybody. Look at their record over the past two years and it's phenomenal. Phenomenal.
We got a lead and our kids, for whatever reason, got a little bit relaxed and stopped moving and stopped screening. And it took us a long time to get that back. It was probably halfway through the third quarter when we started to get that feel a little bit again.
Well, we had already seen what could happen when he was out earlier. They generated a run when he wasn't out on the floor before.
We've got obviously the best offensive player in the area on our team and we've got the best defensive player hands down on our team, so we're bringing back two very important pieces. But we've got to build and we've got to start from square one in terms of teaching the kids how to step up to this environment.
He's a very, very solid player. He has a pull-up jumper, he's a strong finisher at the rim and he's very good on the perimeter. He doesn't make many mistakes.
It was a tremendous game. I thought you had two really, really good teams out there who played very well for four quarters. I thought both teams played exceptionally well.
