I think we all believe we're a good team.
I think that is ridiculous. Sometimes, getting on the plane, with the distances we fly, you need to be comfortable. I think there is a way to be classy and dress up. I think the dress code should strictly (enforce) what guys wear on the bench when they are not playing. That is when guys are most visible. But when we are on the plane, that is when we are most leisurely. I don't think that should matter. Wearing a sweat suit with a team logo on it? What sense does that make?
I was just off. I'm not going to make any excuses. I just didn't make shots.
Our track record hasn't been good. We've lost so many close games in this building this season. We're learning some things about ourselves.
Records are always made to be broken. I have a long way to go, games to play, threes to hit. The key is getting to playoff basketball.
For most of us, when we see them scoring fast, we feel like it's all right to do the same thing on our end. It doesn't get any better.
If I tell a kid to read, I think they'll be more likely to read than to sit there on a computer and play video games.
I always thought Bob, he seemed like the guy who knew it all. I have no doubt in my mind he has the ability to do the job and do it in a fashion that everybody will be pleased.
He has an NBA game, ... He deserves to be at this level. You see him out there, and he looks like he belongs.
He wants to be better. He wants to be the best. But don't worry about that. Those things will come.
He didn't play the last time we were down here, so he was the new X-factor thrown into the mix and I'm sure they weren't prepared for that.
He is going through a phase now where he's learning or he has to learn what it's like to deal with pain. And to be able to play through it and go out and still be good with that pain, because at some point we've all had to face it.
I think all of us had respect for coach McMillan. Some of us may not have liked his style, but it got results. We were successful with it and you have to give him credit for that. He deserves that.
It's no fun to think about individual success when as a team you don't make the playoffs. I don't really take pride in what I did because the team didn't do well.
