Timmy didn't have his best night, ... but that's going to happen now and then. |
Timmy Duncan was an unbelievable competitor and leader. He was sicker than a dog. His effort and the foundation he gave us was really, really impressive. |
Timmy is important to us, and we feel it is important for him to know he is important, rather than just giving him a contract and paying him to play basketball. We want him to know we really do care about him. This has been a little tougher than going to France or Argentina, because there's not really a place to play in the Virgin Islands. But the University of the Virgin Islands was so gracious and accommodating, it worked out well. The biggest problem was probably getting everyone there. |
Timmy was a leader and a competitor. Even though he was sick as a dog, he still wanted to play. His effort and foundation in the game was really impressive. |
Timmy, he's the beginning of it. He doesn't have to be the end all the time now. |
To watch his progress over this short year and a half has been just amazing. He's put in the work, he has the desire and he also has the persistence and mental toughness to drive a team his way, to have them do what he thinks is necessary. ... He's going to be one of the best for a very long time. |
Tony continues to really hold everything together. |
Tony hasn't changed a bit in the sense that he's just part of a whole, part of a team. He's been a wonderful example of a young person being able to handle some fame. |
Tony Parker played an aggressive game and set the tone for us tonight. Tony had his juice back tonight. He looked like the Tony tonight like he's looked all year long. That's important for us, obviously. |
Tracy not being there made it a whole lot easier for us. |
Turn on the news and you're going to see the negative. It reflects society. People pay more attention to those things. It's not specific to sports. It's across the board. |
Two (games) to go and then all the fun starts for 16 teams. We're glad to get one more out of the way. |
Very important. He wants to win one very badly. |
We are extremely pleased to have a player of Michael's caliber joining our franchise. He brings an All-Star level of talent to the floor and a high degree of character to the locker room. |
We are very happy to have Nick as a part of our team. His leadership and skills will be assets at both ends of the floor. |
