John really took a liking to me. He talked to me about the off-court stuff, about the pitfalls that trap some guys. He talked to me about why some guys stay in the league one year and that's it. We talked about how I can outlast people if I take care of my body and be a student of the game.
More Quotes from Avery Johnson:
The players challenged themselves to pick it up defensively. We didn't shoot the ball particularly well tonight. We had a good team effort. We had a lot of contribution from a lot of different people.Avery Johnson
It is a disappointing loss. When we come to the games we try and give ourselves a chance to win. I wasn't trying to rally the team by getting ejected I think it was more a difference of opinion.
Avery Johnson
We don't know where we went wrong. We thought the rehab was solid. Casey Smith, the Mavericks' trainer does a great job. But we'll just have to take an even slower pace with him next time. We need some more meat on those bones. But that's an off-season project.
Avery Johnson
Jason came out firing, man. That's the Jason Terry that I see. I sleep good at night when he shoots the ball. I know he's not going to make every shot, but when he's aggressive to score that's one of the ways I sleep good. I don't elbow my wife when he shoots like that, so I hope he continues to do that so I can sleep good.
Avery Johnson
I don't want our team to misconstrue the message of us trying to get to the next level. We're not going to get there in one night, all right No matter what's been said over the All-Star break or what race we're supposed to be in, it's all meaningless right now.
Avery Johnson
I have been waiting for 79 games to get some internal leadership, and I haven't gotten it yet. This is one of the most disappointing games that I've been a part of as Mavericks coach. At the same time, it's my fault.
