Andrei makes a huge, huge difference when he's out there, but we can't rely on him to take care of all of our mistakes. I thought our other people did a good job.
More Quotes from Jerry Sloan:
I just thought it was an opportune time to do that because maybe he had something in his head, or something was going on that I wasn't aware of.Jerry Sloan
They (Jazz players) are not familiar with how to deal with the pressure, and so that's how they've always done it overpower people, and get shots off. But you have to make them. Because when we take standing shots that are not really in a rhythm or anything, we have a difficult time (defending) the other end of the floor.
Jerry Sloan
I was more disappointed in our veteran players. You know, you can be upset with the young players but some of them haven't had an opportunity to be on the floor.
Jerry Sloan
I tell the players, 'I'm sorry that you got hurt, but there's not a thing I can do about it'. You've got to go forward. That's the only thing I know. That's what I've tried to convey to our players. We've been fortunate here. Our organization for 18 years had very few injuries when John Stockton and Karl Malone were here ... I understood all along we were fortunate our guys stayed healthy. That's life in the NBA. If you don't like it, there's other jobs.
Jerry Sloan
They executed, they got on top of the basket. If you made a mistake defensively, they took care of it. They made us turn the ball over if we messed up our spacing on the floor. They used us on the pin down. Guys couldn't get up and get over screens. It was kind of a revealing experience for our players. You see those things and talk about those things, but we aren't able to get to that point where we can stop that sort of thing.
Jerry Sloan
The games mean still something. It's not like you just throw (the ball) out there and you don't care if you win or lose.
Jerry Sloan
