More Quotes from Jerry Sloan:
They are good and did a lot of good things, but our guys did not respond. That's the most disappointing game I've been involved with.Jerry Sloan
Nelson did a great job keeping us off balance. I thought his play was terrific. He's strong ... he can score, he was able to get people the basketball and help them get the kinds of shots they wanted. That's one of the big things that hurt us.
Jerry Sloan
He's in much better shape than a year ago. One of the important things for guys to remember is to be in great shape, so if you do have something go wrong, you don't get yourself behind to start.
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
We are still hanging in there, competing and finishing to the end.
Jerry Sloan
I never like for anybody to miss a game. I think that if you're going to play, you play the best. I've never been one of those people who hopes a guy doesn't play, because I'd rather compete against him. And if you're not good enough, then you don't belong here, anyway.
Jerry Sloan
