few guys hard locker mental physical room simple team toughness understand watch
I think a few of those guys in that locker room have quit. It's disappointing to me; (those guys) won't be here, it's as simple as that. We have no mental or physical toughness on this team right now. It's just hard to watch that; it's hard to watch these young guys that don't understand and don't get it.
bottom guys jason join percent plays
Jason plays at 110 percent in every game. We need other guys to join him. That's the bottom line.
basketball bit chris few game hang heads looked minutes remember took
I think everyone started to hang their heads a little bit when Chris went out of the game. It looked pretty bad. I think it took a few minutes to remember we had a basketball game to win.
great might nights prove superstar
I said he would be a great player. I think he might be that already. Nights like this prove he is going to be a superstar in this league.
few perfect playing time today weeks
I said a few weeks ago that J.R. wasn't playing well and if it continued, I would have to make some changes, and today was the perfect time to do that.
fans guys players
Our guys feel real comfortable here. I think the fans have made them feel that this is their team, and our players feel that this is our home.
deserves ethic kirk matter tells works
Kirk (Snyder) deserves a shot. Kirk works his butt off every day. He's still out here. Matter of fact, do you see J.R.? (Smith had left.) That pretty much tells it. It's work ethic -- he has to work harder.
chance city days fact felt few game guilty guys katrina last left
Just the fact that all of those guys had a chance to be here for a few days and get around the city and see some of the devastation that Katrina left made them feel a little guilty. I think the guys felt a little guilty after the last game that they had to come in and give a better effort.
games gives good guys shows team win
I think it's a good thing for our team right now. If we can win games without Chris, I think it gives these guys even more confidence. And it also shows when he comes back that we'll even be better.
feels glad good
It always feels good, but it feels good just to see him back out there. I'm just glad to see him back on the sidelines.
great wild
I think it's going to be wild and crazy. It's going to be fun. It's going to be a great atmosphere.
appreciate city oklahoma showing
I think it's cool. I think it's just a way of showing Oklahoma City how much we appreciate them for all they've done for us this season.
extremely hard product
I think it's important to give them a product where we go out and play extremely hard every night,
easier fall five gives guard jason point rely six
It gives us a different dimension, because we don't rely on one or two guys. We rely on five or six guys. If you have a point guard like Jason Kidd, it makes it easier for everyone else to fall into place.
