Inflated or Deflated

Gallo and the boys should be inflated with their performance in mentally preparing  for Sacramento.

The locker room showed pride, not deflation.

If Cousins or someone else gets hot tonight, don’t get deflated. Pump yourself up and move and be aggressive.

You have definitely proved you can do it.

You are on your way to the playoffs, if you want it bad enough.

The game against Golden State was a terrific learning and confidence building experience.
