(Hawks GM) Billy Knight told me I'm not going anywhere, so mentally that's where I'm at now. I'm not thinking about it at all. He said if there's something that comes along, something that he's thinking about doing, I'll be the first to know before he does it. |
(We want to) give the fans something to look forward to next year. We're going to be a much better team, and we are going to be scratching and clawing our way into the playoffs next year. |
(Williams) played well, and he got it done for them. He hit all the big shots, got into the paint when he needed to, to find guys and get easy looks. He did a good job tonight. |
Believe it or not, when it left my hand, it felt good. |
Defensively, I guess you could say they took us out of it. They are playing much better defense than they have in the past. With a team like that, with so much offensive firepower, you cannot get behind. |
He came in here and kicked our behinds tonight. I know the game meant a lot to him, and he played that way. |
He played well. He got all the big shots. |
Hopefully, we've gotten this one out of our system and well bounce back with a better effort on Monday night. |
I don't think you guys realize sometimes how connected we really are in that locker room. We are a family. We lost a brother. The only consolation we have is that he left us making sure no one can ever say a bad thing about him, because Jason was such a good person. |
I got the call when I was getting into my car. I can't (pretend); I cried like a baby. I cried as soon as I got in the car. Then I called my mom. When you realize you're never going to see somebody again, it hits you. We'll never see him again. |
I guess they were taking it to the hole and we weren't. |
I want to be a Hawk first, and hopefully we'll find a way for that to happen. That's my number one goal. |
I wish we played them 80 times this year. That's a great team over there, but for some reason we just out played them. We got the sweep but now we have to move on and win this game on Friday (against the Nets). |
I'm better than ever. I really don't know how that kind of [stuff] gets started, those rumors. But I'm good, baby. |
I'm not even sweating that stuff. There's no need for that. I know who I am as a player and that I have a job to do for the next 32 games, whether that's in an Atlanta Hawks uniform or some other uniform. |
