Rick Carlisle

As a staff we have to keep coaching hard and keep getting these guys prepared to play. The games keep coming. That's just the way it is in this league. We're going to fight our way out of this as a group collectively: players, coaches and everybody. Losing streaks are no fun.

Ron Turner

As coaches you have to be careful. If you talk too much about it, they get uptight and they play not to lose, not to make mistakes. You can't do that. They have to go out and play, yet you have to have focus. If you have that focus, usually you won't hurt yourself.

Barry Alvarez

As I visit with some of the other coaches in leagues that have playoffs, I don't think that there's any excitement about the playoff. Sure, it's a big payoff for one game, but I think it diminishes some of the season.

Randy's struggling with some things, ... He got hit in the head pretty good. He's got some soreness. I'm pleased that we're getting as much out of him as we are.

Bob Hill

Ray did what Ray was supposed to do late. He hit some big shots and we got a couple of stops that were real important.

Lorraine Jones

Probably in a couple of years we might do it again.

I've only been thrown out four times in my career, not my managing career. If I get tossed from the game, I think I let the team down. If a manager is not there in a playoff game I think you lose the respect of your team. I need my players and my players need me.
