That talk is ridiculous. ordsprog

en That talk is ridiculous. Those are the same people who said Chauncey Billups was a bust. The fact is, it takes a while in the NBA, and it takes a while to make the transition from high school. The bottom line is, when we drafted him, there wasn't any commitment to play him in his rookie year, he was going to sit and learn from the veterans. Yet, somehow he forced his way onto the floor through way of practices. And this year, there was no commitment to start him, but somehow he won the starting job. Then he got injured.

en I think we were tight. We were maybe over-prepared and that can make you play tight. We've been playing a lot better lately. We're in a tournament mentality. I tell the kids, it takes deep commitment to change. It takes deeper commitment to grow. That's what we're doing.

en They are in different roles than last year, and sometimes it takes you more than a year or two to figure out exactly what you need to do -- especially when you are the core of the organization.

en What we did this year has no bearing on how many games we win next year. There has to be a commitment in the off-season to get better, and there has to be a commitment when we come back to training camp. If we make that commitment, then we'll be a better basketball team.

en It takes two things to sustain a company -- capital and commitment. When we started out, the commitment was high and capital was low and over time the commitment seemed to meet the capital.

en Having lived it and been around people who have lived it, you understand what it takes to get to this level and stay at this level. A lot of guys don't have that same understanding of the day-in and day-out commitment it takes to play at this high of a level.

en You can't shut yourself off from hearing it, ... I've heard everything from late first round to fifth or sixth. I really can't think about that now. All I can think about now is having a good year. This is my senior year. In my senior year of high school I had no offers. So it doesn't make a difference to me what anyone says about me now. I have to go out and play hard and prove myself once again. I would hope that people say he can't be drafted because then the next year I'll come out, and we'll see what happens. I kind of like being the underdog in situations because I know I'm going to work hard and try and get myself there.

en Make sure to be honest with yourself, about if that's really what you want to do with your life - to make music.

en Marcus Banks had three years here, to play, and he had three coaches (Jim O'Brien, John Carroll, Doc Rivers) that weren't real excited about him.

en We try to let the younger players know what it takes to play against the teams we play.

en With all the discussion about me being traded or cut has helped me realize that the contract I have ran out of guarantees the day I was injured. Therefore each year they pay you to play is a gift.

When I am ready to hit the field this year, wherever it may be, I plan on being better than ever and enjoying the ride.

en People don't understand the level of commitment it takes to be at his level. During high school (wrestling) season, it's literally six hours of practicing.

en I think in the end it showed us a true commitment on the kids' part because nothing is worse than getting up at 4:15 to make it to school at 5 in the snow or fog three days a week.
