Bob Hill Win Quotations

We're fighting for a spot in the kids' hearts. We win some and lose some. We'll regroup, go back to the drawing board and see what we can do.

Our guys wanted to win the game because of the butt kicking we took in Houston. It wasn't a 'get back.' Neither team is going to the playoffs. It's just two teams playing hard but not playing for anything.

Our big guys couldn't handle Kaman and Brand. I thought we fought and got ourselves back in position to win the game. But we let them back in the game when we could have put them away. Not for the game, but for the spread at halftime.

Under the circumstances, I can't be much prouder of this group of players' effort. I think they deserved to win this game.

We sorely needed to win a game. That was a team win. We got a lot of good performances from a lot of people.

We sorely needed to win a game. That was a team win. I thought we really got a lot of good performances from a lot of people. We got stops, we're not a great defensive team but the team we had on the court at the end did what they needed to get the stops. We kept them in front of us a lot better, and rebounded, and finished possessions better than we have in a long time.

We went to the bench from that point on, and it was just like pulling teeth. We got out-hustled, I thought. They beat us to loose balls. They had to win the game to stay in the playoff race, and they did what they had to do. So you have to give them credit.

That one was tough. We got plenty of shots at the basket, we win the boards, we shoot 44 percent from three, we had 25 assists and only eight turnovers, and we couldn't keep them off the foul line.

They are a team built to win a championship and I thought under the circumstances our guys did a good job.

It's a very, very good win for us. I hope it's a breakthrough win for us, and we can build from this.

Considering all their injuries this year, they continue to win and you have to give (Nash) a lot of credit for that. And Nash doesn't have those big guys to set screens for him and he's still scoring and setting up his teammates.

Not to diminish their win, but we had some guys go down tonight on top of the other guys that we have that are beat up right now. The Spurs are a great team. They are long, they play together and they are a deep team. They are built to win a championship.

The first half of the season is not even over yet. I'm not standing here saying we're going to win a championship, I'm just saying I'm not going to give up. The All-Star break isn't even here yet. Y'all been around long enough to know anything can happen.

The last two games, they've become a team. I think they deserved to win this game. It just didn't happen.
