asked guys mentally people prepare ready shape themselves
Over the summer, most of the guys here know what to expect. I think people can prepare mentally and get themselves in shape and get ready to come out and give what you're asked or not be here.
coach great means proven single won
I said from Day 1, and I'll say it now: I know Coach is a great coach. He's proven it. So the only thing that means to me is that we're not doing it right. We can't be doing it right. Because he's won championships on every single level. So what does that make us? Imbeciles. That's all it can make us.
along business definitely gotta nba roll understand
It definitely is a shock, but I also understand it's a business decision. It's something that comes along with being a NBA player. I've gotta roll with it.
worse
Just when I thought we couldn't get any worse or go any lower, we find another way to do it.
last remember
That's the way I play. I never remember my last shot.
anybody compete conference definitely saying western win
We're not saying we're going to win the Western Conference or anything like that. But we definitely feel like we can compete with anybody in the league.
help sounds traded until
From the sounds of it, I mean, you can't help but think some of those things. At the same time, you've got to wait. No one's ever traded until they're actually traded.
excited gym love point work
If (the Suns) used me as the scapegoat, that's fine. I don't point fingers. All I can do is get back in the gym and work hard. I'm just excited about being able to be the real Quentin Richardson and play the way I love to play.
anybody crazy defensive million pride proud
I'm a proud defensive player. I'm not going to let anybody go crazy on me. I've got more pride than that, just having someone go off for a million points.
looking progress results time tough
I don't even really know what's going on and why we can't win. It's weird. It's like you feel like you make some progress but at the same time we don't get the results that we're really looking for. That's a tough thing.
against help helping job poor somebody stop tough
We've got to 'man up,' each individual. We've got to stop somebody and help each other. Jamal had a tough job against Speedy, and we did a poor job of helping out.
definitely felt unfair
He definitely felt like it was a little unfair situation. And he voiced his opinion.
bad care explain feels horrible losing season team
I can't even explain it, man. I've had a horrible season but I'm going to come out and play hard. You can tell I want to win, you can tell I care about the way we're losing and the whole situation. It just feels bad because you don't feel that the whole team feels that way.
ugly
It was ugly. It was a low-scoring, ugly game.
