I predicted we’d win by 10, so I’m going to give myself credit. The way they beat us before – everything was correctable. We made 20-something turnovers, gave up eight offensive rebounds that turned into...

That’s been their strong point all year, is when things start going wrong, they just keep fighting back instead of feeling sorry for themselves.

Our turnovers and their offensive rebounding were key. I think 18 of their 32 first half points came down to their effort on the boards.

I told him I think he’s the most valuable player for the day. I knew Marcus is one of the most energetic and good defensive players you ever wanna see.

I don’t know, but I’ll tell you this: For 32 minutes, it’s still a lot of fun. I’m mighty thankful to still be doing it.

Jermaine had a career game today, and I can’t think of a better place or better time to do it – unless it’s Friday.

That’ll be something they remember the rest of their lives. It may not be all good, but it’ll be good.

It seems like this year the Delta’s the one that’s got the teams going. I think the Delta’s always had talent, but now they’re getting the coaching to go with the talent. We in Northeast...

When you’re on that operating table, knowing they’re about to cut you open and work on your heart, you realize that basketball isn’t really the most important thing in the world.
