"Well, I normally err on the side of telling the truth, so I'm going to tell it. I'm really embarrassed by what happened out there. I thought we came out in the second half, we were pretty much as soft as I've seen. We played with very little heart, very little aggressiveness."

"Every game he plays in, he's ... one of the toughest guys on the floor. He's got size, strength, athleticism, and he can play. He gives them one of the best players in the game, and you can see that they've played with a little more pop since he's been with them. He seems to have an effect on their group, the way they get after it a little bit."

"We waited too long to start playing. We kind of sleep-walked through 2-1/2 quarters. Then near the end of the third quarter, we finally started getting aggressive. We started driving the ball, and our defense picked up. We clawed ourselves back into the game."

"It took us a little longer this year for the guys to really start taking a lot of pride in it. But they did and they got it accomplished. I bet if you went back in the recent 20 or 30 years in the league, nobody's ever done it with guys this young. When you think about that, it's a great accomplishment for a young team."

"This was a very difficult practice, and they're going to continue to be difficult. We're just not playing at an intensity level that's necessary for us to win. The guys know it. It's something we've got to get corrected."

"We just have to watch him -- that's why he's taking days off of practice -- and make sure he's not overdoing it. But if he's able to play, we'll play him and worry about each game one by one. If he has to overplay tonight to win the game, that's what we'll have to do."

"The name that comes to mind when I played is [Bill] Laimbeer. I mean, they're two totally different players. And then [Dennis] Rodman here. Those are two guys that tended to get on people's nerves, some people thought they were dirty players or whatever."

"We need every win. The problem is we started the second half like five blind men. We were not executing, not talking to each other. Maybe one half is good enough for us right now. We have to get that rectified."

"There are no magic bullets against him."
Author: Skiles Quotes Category: Magic Quotes
"It means the guys are working very hard at it and it's paying off. There's no magic in that, really. It's just that we have the a system that we teach, and the guys have spent the time getting it down. We've spent an awful lot of time on it."

We talk to our guys every day about exactly where we are [in the race]. With certain groups, that works really well. With others, it might not."
