They always ask about him like I ask about other teams' superstars. |
They should be here, they're not here and it will be addressed. |
They understand it, but they also understand they have a job to do. They are teammates and friends of his, but they're going to focus on the job at hand - that's beating Orlando. |
They're not here. When they get here, they'll be late and they'll be ... fined. That's what the ... we're talking about, all right? Am I (mad)? Damn right I am. Is that what you want to hear? You ... heard it. |
We are aggressively working on it. |
We felt Steven was one of the top free-agent big men out there, |
We knew that Jewell did a good job running with the football and that is was big for us to stay on our keys. But we were able to get pressure up front. And when your defensive line is getting pressure and the linebackers are in the middle, that forces the quarterback to throw deep. |
We know he?s someone that is not ready today, but we believe in him. We want to make a commitment to him. |
We were doing the deal because it gave us (salary) flexibility, but at this point in time, we're just trying to get him back on the court. |
We're going to do whatever it takes to get us back on track. |
What I didn't like about our team last year was that we didn't rebound the ball very well because we weren't athletic enough, ... When Samuel wasn't in the game, teams drove down the lane every chance they got. |
When Allen was playing well, everybody said we needed to get help [for him]. Now Allen goes out and everybody says we need to get rid of Allen. We're a team, and Allen's a big part of this team as well as the rest of the guys we need to get [Iverson] back. |
When you think you've got something that's going to work, and it hasn't worked, that's frustrating. I'm as frustrated as the fans are. |
You would like to do something for the fans. You want to add to make the team better, but I'm very cautious in not just doing something you might later regret. |
