franchise hardest hope proud team
I hope I can make a difference. I'm going to try my hardest to make this franchise proud of the team we put out there.
caught games great heard hope hurt next played playing plays teammates wants win
I hope he wants what I want. I hope he wants to win games, make his teammates better. That's the only thing that really matters. I heard he wants to play like Allen. I heard he wants us to play like Phoenix. I don't get caught up in that. I thought he was playing great and if he plays like he played before he got hurt we'll win games next year.
ask competing everybody high honestly
I honestly think that if you ask each one of them they'd tell you they're competing at a high level. I don't know if everybody understands that we need everybody doing that every possession, especially when we're shorthanded, we're young and inexperienced.
hopefully learned opportunity
I haven't had this opportunity in a long time. I've learned a lot from this season, and hopefully I'll be better for it.
attacked boards gave guy helped needed second stay
I really think he's the guy who helped us stay in this game. He attacked the boards when he needed to and gave us some second chances.
played
I put him in to see if he would play like he belonged. He played like he was insulted.
allow blew crowd guys heads hung past putting
In the past when we blew a lead, there would have been a lot of guys putting their heads down. But the crowd didn't allow us to do that, and we hung on.
defend hope players willing
I hope we get players in here who want to defend and we keep the ones who have that as a priority. I think that's the only way you can win. Generally, if a guy's willing to defend, he's going to be unselfish, he's always going to play hard, and he's probably going to have unbelievable character.
hope players
I hope we get players in here who want to defend. And keep the ones who make that a priority.
hope players
I hope we get players in here that want to defend. I hope the players we keep, that's a priority.
hope
I hope there's a lot more like him. We'd all be better for it.
comments good love
I love Tony. He's a good friend. I'm not going to make any comments on what he said. That's not my place.
along best chance figure gives golf hole jack love playing rather run somehow somewhere
I love to see us run up and down the court, but I think somewhere along the line, we're going to have to figure it out. It's like playing Jack Nicklaus in golf in his prime. I'd rather play him one hole than 18. We've got to somehow say this gives us our best chance to win.
fun loved played shared trying watch
I loved the effort. We shared the ball, and it was more fun to watch with them trying like they did. We played hard, and we played unselfishly. I thought we were ready.
