That's nonsense, and it's not fair to Coach and not fair to Jason. Jason never complained about anything. Never. He was a true professional in every sense, and he understood, like we all do, that a coach is like a parent in a lot of ways. They're on your case one minute, but at the end of the day, we're still a family no matter what.
(Hawks GM) Billy Knight told me I'm not going anywhere, so mentally that's where I'm at now. I'm not thinking about it at all. He said if there's something that comes along, something that he's thinking about doing, I'll be the first to know before he does it.
It was a hard-fought game, but we gave them too much cushion and we couldn't really recover. But our second unit in the third quarter played unbelievable. I wish we could've played them the whole second half.
I wish we played them 80 times this year. That's a great team over there, but for some reason we just out played them. We got the sweep but now we have to move on and win this game on Friday (against the Nets).
I want to be a Hawk first, and hopefully we'll find a way for that to happen. That's my number one goal.
I got the call when I was getting into my car. I can't (pretend); I cried like a baby. I cried as soon as I got in the car. Then I called my mom. When you realize you're never going to see somebody again, it hits you. We'll never see him again.
It's a good trade for everybody now, until they start playing with these guys. Indiana gets some much-needed scoring punch, and the Kings get that much-needed defensive presence. ... Right now it looks real good. But if Ron-Ron is right, Sacramento will get the better end of that deal.
When someone is scoring like that, everybody else isn't involved. When they do shoot, they're ice cold, so that worked in our favor.
We came out a little flat and we shouldn't have had that type of lapse. We had a great shoot-around, so there was no reason for us to come out and play the way we did.
(We want to) give the fans something to look forward to next year. We're going to be a much better team, and we are going to be scratching and clawing our way into the playoffs next year.
We're a better team than we were last year. We've given away 10 games this year. We have to continue to compete.
We took a couple steps backwards. The last couple of games we were focused in the fourth quarter and pretty much could get the job done. Tonight, we didn't do that.
We kind of got disoriented by not running our stuff. But we came out and played the way we're supposed to in the second half.
We're so close. If we didn't have such a bad start, we'd be in the thick of things. We're still playing for a lot of pride.
