It's no fun to think about individual success when as a team you don't make the playoffs. I don't really take pride in what I did because the team didn't do well. |
It's nothing I haven't known, ... It's just a couple of the parties involved came forward. |
It's something I had to deal with and however I can keep my family safe and allow them to live a comfortable life that's what I try to do, |
It's something we have known that has been going on, ... It's unfortunate, because every story written has my name tied to it. And he feels bad about it as much as my mom does, and she doesn't want me to be tied into it. But I am connected to it. |
It's those small little plays and we can't get over the hump. That's been typical of how things are going. It gets frustrating because it seems we've been hit with a 'bad luck' stick. |
Jason Kidd throws funky passes all the time. He has a lot of assists, but he also has a lot of turnovers. You've got to take some chances. |
Mentally it just got worse, ... And physically, you're just running up and down the floor and it seemed like everything just went their way. Again, I know we'll recover from this. |
Mike would spend the night at the house. We'd stay up late and then get up in the morning and go to practice. Everything he did just emulated exactly what I was doing out there on the floor and you see what he can do now. |
Most teams have one All-Star, whether that guy made it this year or earlier in his career, and some teams have two All-Stars. What they're showing is that a group of five guys that play together and play hard will always beat a team with two All-Stars and three average players. |
My primary concern is making sure [my mom] stays out of the way, ... Her husband is someone she loves, she enjoys. Unfortunately, he came from a situation before that that had some baggage and that's pretty much all the problem. |
Nothing has really felt like this. |
Our track record hasn't been good. We've lost so many close games in this building this season. We're learning some things about ourselves. |
People decide if they want to be led, they'll be led. If they decide they don't want to be part of the system, they'll buck it. |
Records are always made to be broken. I have a long way to go, games to play, threes to hit. The key is getting to playoff basketball. |
Right now everything needs to be pretty perfect for us to win a game, ... Last year, early on we won some games that we probably shouldn't have won and won in different ways. Right now, we're building a different makeup for this team. |
