His leadership and knowledge of our system makes him an invaluable piece of our building process. We are excited to have him back and know that our younger players will continue to benefit from his presence. |
I am sure it's difficult for him. Out of loyalty to his teammates, I am sure he wants to be out there and be a part of the franchise that is being built around him. |
I can't divulge that. My credibility's on the line. There's a good possibility they made the right decision. |
I could see the guys hyperventilating, |
I could see the guys hyperventilating. |
I don't have any problem with people feeling that way, ... What the hell? Let's go for it. |
I don't have the courage to inquire right now. |
I don't want to take anything away from Portland because they did what they had to. But that was an awful performance. We should collectively be embarrassed. |
I think all the credit needs to go to New Jersey tonight. They're playing well, that's 14 in a row. They're a team that if they play like this, they're going to be very dangerous in the playoffs. |
I think it's a significant thing. And a lot of credit goes to the guys that, after that (losing streak), they would hang in there and not surrender. Because that was a concern of a lot of people, was will they surrender. They never do. |
I think we played well. Our small lineup really helped us. |
I thought our defense was superb on the last two possessions that Atlanta had. They couldn't get a shot off. I thought we made them earn every possession. |
I thought our guys played hard and played terrific. They did everything that they could to win the basketball game. The one concern I have is with Gerald and Raymond, is that I don't want them to get discouraged. I want them to keep taking that basketball to the hole, but they get discouraged when they don't get rewarded. |
I thought the disruptions and the turnovers that we forced, we got baskets off them. |
I told the guys that I was proud of them. As short-handed as we are right now, I don't know if I can ask any more of them in this situation. |
