More Quotes from Jerry Sloan:
After we got beat by 30 points over there I didn't know what we would do tonight. I thought our guys came out strong, they ran hard and went to the basket a little harder than they did the other night.Jerry Sloan
If you're supposed to be on a certain place on the floor defensively, you've got to get there. You can't just go crazy. And if you've got a certain assignment on the offensive end of the floor, that all remains the same. But if we break it down because we've got something else in mind, then the other four guys don't have any idea what we're doing. It's just basketball. But we have to play it together.

Williams only had two assists but played markedly better after an eight-minute, three-foul stint against Steve Nash on Monday. I thought he had better be motivated to play, because he didn't play very well the other night, ... I thought he came right back at it. He came out tonight and stayed aggressive.

So how are we going to play We've got to do it from a team concept, by passing the ball and being ready to pass it.

I'm not asking them to be Karl Malone, but I think I have a right to hold players accountable. If I do that, then I'm being a little bit too harsh on them at times. But we have a tendency to think that no work is the best policy and that will cause you a great deal of trouble.
