We pushed it and got up the floor. Now we just have to get into something. |
We're capable of more than that. We believed we were going to win. |
We're going to miss Coach, it was kind of weird leaving him in Cleveland. We're wishing him the best so he can get well and come back to us. I know he's dying to get out there. |
We're not as bad as we looked. We're not as bad as we've looked all season. |
What we've gone through is one of life's most cruel tests, a test of character and will and perseverance. This year has been very trying for us as players. I know it's been trying for everyone else, management and fans, especially. We're not giving up. |
Will it make a difference? I don't know. I doubt it, to be honest, but it's to the point where I had to say something. If it falls on deaf ears, so be it. |
Yeah, it's real hard, ... It's not like anybody's slacking. We're out there trying, and then, all of a sudden, he's out there yelling at you: 'You didn't do this right! You didn't do that right!' It's frustrating. You've got to be real patient and learn how to take constructive criticism. |
You got two legs and two feet, a beating heart and a brain, you're equipped to play defense. I think this team definitely has what it takes to play defense. We just have to check what's inside our shirts to see if we're going to sustain that. |
[They not only win big; they seem to do it without any of the negative stuff that crops up everywhere else. No public feuds. No drug busts. No players griping over contracts or swearing at fans.] That's just the way it is here, ... We've got a good group of guys. |
