“Usually guys are counting the days down or planning out their vacation. With this team, if feels like we have 20 or 30 games left. We are playing like we are playing for something and that's the sign of a good basketball team. We're strictly business and the chemistry is coming along. It seems like we're headed in the right direction.”
“This is a very big win. Even though it's at the end of the season and we are on the outside looking in, we are still playing together and it shows you there is no quit in this team. I think we are building good chemistry heading toward next season.”
“The new guys haven't been with us long, but they're a part of the team just like everybody else. They don't know some of our history or anything like that, but maybe that's a good thing.”
“That's where things started wrong. Guys came in here worried about themselves instead of the team. And it never got better. Guys were worried about playing time because of their contract situation and never got into the team concept. You could see it in guys' faces.”
“I don't think people understand the impact when people want to be here and we can all move forward together. I think it's been a tough season for everybody, but we made some changes, got some guys out of here who wanted to leave and now everybody is on the same page.”
“I don't think any of us wants the season to end right now. Where am I going on vacation? I had no idea. I haven't even thought of that. I think we enjoy being together, and that's the difference between then and now.”
“Yeah, we knew we'd go a little longer than we did in the first game, but I don't think anybody thought we'd go that much. I played [32] minutes, which is a little long for a preseason game, but we had to.”
