everybody plays stepped tonight
Everybody stepped up and they play big for us tonight. When everybody plays well, these are the result. Tonight was a sonic effort.
fans jobs line players
We all know what our jobs are, ... That line was crossed. Now fans and players know there are repercussions.
brought guys meant played
At the end of the day, what brought me back here was my players, the guys I've played with. That meant more to me than anything.
chewed difference enthusiasm game half last loss memphis muddy played tonight
The way we played in the last game (a 99-74 loss to Memphis on Wednesday), it was just a difference in attitude. We started the first half tonight with that same muddy approach. We were lethargic and really didn't have any enthusiasm and we got chewed out at the half.
anybody nba playing question team
I would give it to Nash. No question about it. I don't think anybody in the NBA is playing the way he's playing and his team is doing what they're doing. Take him off the roster and they would not be where they are.
goes job models players positive puts role type watching work
As much as I see how he goes about his job, I know the other players are watching me and want the same type of work ethic. I see how much he puts into his job and I see how much I put into this job and so we have to be two positive role models for this team.
beat game gave hard judge played
It's hard to really judge (the Spurs) because I don't think we gave them much of a challenge. They played their game and beat us. And that's all there was to it.
bit carried fight four game hung liked paramount played since time together tonight wavering winning
It's been a long time since we've won, period. Just winning a game is paramount around here. We haven't played that poorly, we just haven't put together four quarters. Tonight we were wavering a little bit but we hung with it. I liked the fight that we had out there, and that carried us through.
basketball feeds great hopefully left man played
I told Reggie he played a great game. He didn't respond. But I told him, 'Win or lose, man you played well.' Hopefully he feeds off that. He's young and has a lot of basketball left to play.
gets hit plays seems small typical
It's those small little plays and we can't get over the hump. That's been typical of how things are going. It gets frustrating because it seems we've been hit with a 'bad luck' stick.
game knows playing
That's Reggie. I don't think he was playing any different because it was us. He's always one to get in the game and play hard. He knows how to play us, he knows what we're going to do.
care coming favor guys hopefully knowing played players repay
I played with a lot of young players that don't care and think they have the answers. Just knowing that he wanted to be helped, it was easy. Now, hopefully he'll repay the favor to young guys coming into the league.
best definitely great left mark played players realize watching
When a person is gone, watching the montage, you realize how long he was here in a Sonic uniform. He did a lot of great things, played in a lot of big games, and played with some of the best players to put on a Sonic uniform. He definitely left his mark on the city.
beat create defense night played playing rhythm side strong team tough
I thought we didn't create rhythm offensively. And we played really tough defense on the strong side all night long, but you can't beat this team playing that way. Just playing strong defense on that side.
