[Utah center Greg Ostertag, who claimed he doesn't even own a sports jacket, said he's not just mad about the dress code. He plans to get even.] I don't mind if they clean it up a little bit, ... but they can go without them -- sport coats. They're going to get the worst-looking one they've ever seen on me. I'll go buy one off a guy on the street. |
Even when Matt had an off night shooting, he still did a lot of things to help the team. |
He's been wearing that thing as long as I can remember. |
I don't mind if they clean it up a little bit. But ... they can go without them (expletive) sport coats. |
I guess I am, kind of. You know, guys have questions, I want to try to answer them. Be as honest as possible, don't b.s. them. I just try to lead by example, more than anything. |
I hope they're going to welcome him, give him a chance. I'm sure there'll be some boos in there, but, whatever. He just needs to come out and play hard and have a good game and get those people who aren't on the bandwagon back on the bandwagon. |
I'm not a guy who can sit on the bench and collect a paycheck. I realized if I couldn't play for this team, there aren't many I can play for. |
I've had my ups and downs, but I believe in my heart that I've had more ups than downs. I can't complain. Eleven years is a long time. |
I've run out of gas. I'm tired of being on the road. I just don't have it. |
It's a lot of bus rides, a lot of plane rides, a lot of hotels. And I realized that I just don't want to do it anymore. ... Fans will remember me for a lot of ups and downs. I've had good games, and my share of bad ones, too. But it's time for me to go. |
That was fun. It was good to hear them cheer and it was a good way to go out. |
We did a great job helping each other out. We got a few fouls and I think we did a pretty good job rotating and making them take tough shots. |
We got the win. Every season I've played (here) we haven't had a losing record. It's only .500 but it's still not a losing record. |
We're 63 games into it. You'd think by now we'd understand that when we execute we play decent. |
Yeah, it makes it a little easier to follow those guys. But you know, those guys had to be the leaders -- they were superstars. I'm not. I'm never going to be. There's about a 99 percent chance my jersey will never be hung in the rafters. I'm just an older guy who's been around, seen how things work, so when I do something or say something, I guess that's being a leader. I'm old, I think that's what makes you the leader. |
