Ron Lewis is one ordsprog

Ron Lewis is one of the greatest teammates I have ever seen. He's always picking guys up, he's always talking the game and that sort of thing, so I think guys like to see him do well, it does uplift us a little bit.

Guys have missed being with this team. That's the greatest thing, to get back together and start having fun again with your teammates.

Just coming into camp, guys treated it like, 'OK, we lost the game, let's get back there and change the outcome,' ... Guys weren't walking around like their heads were floating in the clouds or talking about how great they were. Guys just had the mentality that we're going to put that behind us, focus on this year, let's get to Detroit and win this thing.

[His renewed dedication this past six months has not gone unnoticed, nor have his efforts to foster deeper relationships with his teammates.] I see him being more open to guys, ... He was a little quiet his first year. Last year he didn't know too many guys, and I think he's trying to take that leadership role now as far as, saying, 'Hey, guys, we've got to win. Let's do this. Hey, line, block this, block that.' And we need that. Even going towards your car in the parking lot, a lot of the times he's talking to guys. It's just a different vibe with him this year.

It's probably not the greatest thing for some of these guys that are on the bubble, but that's just part of the game and something you have to deal with when you're part of this game. Most of my career, I went through that, so I know exactly what these guys are going through. I definitely have empathy for what they're going through.

My first plane trip, I sat next to him. And I got yelled at because I was a rookie and you weren't supposed to sit next to a veteran. But he made me feel like it was all right. He was one of the greatest guys, greatest teammates, I've ever been associated with.

They took it as we were picking on them. A lot of them are still big babies. We were just having a little fun. The older guys pick on the little guys. The same thing goes on in every sport.

It brings some newness, some freshness. Any time a change is made, the newness of the teammates, everybody is on their P's and Q's a little bit. I see our guys helping the new guys and explaining things to them. That's good. That's a bonding thing that helps pull those guys together.

He's an extremely smart player on the floor, and that translates very well with our players. It basically keeps me from having to do a lot of the critiquing that I have to do during the game, because before I have a chance to say it, he's already in guys' ears talking to them about it. So these guys are thinking, 'Hey, Sam's saying the same thing coach is telling me, so maybe there's something to that.' So it's a real positive.

It's about getting any little edge, planting any little seed. There's always talking going on out there. You see it every game, guys chirping at each other. The bottom line is are you going to let it affect you? Some guys do. Other guys are smart and just tune it out.

They're all the greatest thing that ever happened when it happens. ... These guys, they worked so hard. They weren't the biggest guys in the world. ... They played for each other.

I don't know if it's the greatest thing for our guys. Especially when guys have to learn at a place where I just took over. You'd like them to have a chance to be successful early in the year. But these are the cards we're dealt.

(My teammates) were making fun of me, saying I took the night off, I was fouling on purpose. But the outcome is we won the game, a lot of the guys played well, and this will bring a lot of confidence for other guys.

It's the way it's always been when we travel. It's sort of light. Guys are watching movies. We travel nicely on Mr. Allen's plane. Guys are sleeping and guys are taking it easy. Nobody's really anxious at this point about what we're about to be a part of. It's sort of the same old, same old.
