That's nonsense, and it's not fair to Coach and not fair to Jason. Jason never complained about anything. Never. He was a true professional in every sense, and he understood, like we all do, that a coach is like a parent in a lot of ways. They're on your case one minute, but at the end of the day, we're still a family no matter what.
I'm sure he is from everything I hear, but I've got to wait until that happens.
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.
It was a hard-fought game, but we gave them too much cushion and we couldn't really recover. But our second unit in the third quarter played unbelievable. I wish we could've played them the whole second half.
It was personal for both of them. They both did a great job tonight.
I want to be a Hawk first, and hopefully we'll find a way for that to happen. That's my number one goal.
We just want our goal to be to double our win total from last year. Over these last five games, we have to find a way to win two or three of them. I think that is our focus right now and to continue to get better as a team going into next year.
Believe it or not, when it left my hand, it felt good.
(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.
They always play hard. Every time we cut it close, they would come down the next three or four possessions and get exactly the shot they wanted. They really execute well.
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.
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.
It's hard to know which way to go when you get blindsided by something like this. It's literally one foot in front of the other right now. That's as far as you look.
It's a good trade for everybody now, until they start playing with these guys. Indiana gets some much-needed scoring punch, and the Kings get that much-needed defensive presence. ... Right now it looks real good. But if Ron-Ron is right, Sacramento will get the better end of that deal.
