It was a bad game. We didn't come out with the intensity and effort we needed to win a big game on the road. |
It was definitely an honor (being asked to do it). He means a lot for the whole African-American race. He stood up for civil rights. . . . If it wasn't for him, none of us African-Americans in any sport or outside sports, doctors, lawyers, bus drivers or whatever it may be, (would have had) the opportunity. |
It was definitely fun to watch. … Melo was spectacular. |
It was just different, especially when Melo got hurt. We've been playing well with guys out of the lineup, but I think that deflated us a little bit. |
It'd be tough. He's a big part of what we do around here. |
It's a big game. I don't know what their schedule looks like, but I like home-court advantage. It's definitely big in the first round. |
It's a must win for us. |
It's a tough ordeal for coach, having been through what he been through last year, with his cancer situation. We know Coby real well. He's always here before the season, working out, playing with the guys, and he keeps in pretty good contact with a lot of the guys. |
It's an opportunity for these guys to shine. I had to carry the load when all of those guys were out, and had to provide a lot of scoring and rebounding and defense for the frontcourt, so now it's their turn to step up and will this team to victory. |
It's been awesome. He's been pretty much carrying the whole organization on his back. He's doing a terrific job. He's been coming early, staying late, working on his game and that goes to show you how much he's maturing. |
It's definitely disappointing and frustrating not to get out of the first round. We had dreams of winning the championship. |
It's frustrating, especially when you don't accomplish your goals you set out at the top of the season. Guys have to hold themselves accountable. Management will have to do something this summer to bring in the right type of guys that want to play the right way. |
It's great to see him alive. He could pretty much not be with us right now. I've been talking to him and seeing him every day, so it's good to finally see him up here. |
It's great to see him. It's great to see him alive. |
It's real tough. It's tough for players getting hammered every day, ripped in the media every day. I've been there, so I know. |
