Greg Ostertag Quotations

We're 63 games into it. You'd think by now we'd understand that when we execute we play decent.

He's been wearing that thing as long as I can remember.

That was fun. It was good to hear them cheer and it was a good way to go out.

Yeah, it makes it a little easier to follow those guys. But you know, those guys had to be the leaders -- they were superstars. I'm not. I'm never going to be. There's about a 99 percent chance my jersey will never be hung in the rafters. I'm just an older guy who's been around, seen how things work, so when I do something or say something, I guess that's being a leader. I'm old, I think that's what makes you the leader.

We got the win. Every season I've played (here) we haven't had a losing record. It's only .500 but it's still not a losing record.

We did a great job helping each other out. We got a few fouls and I think we did a pretty good job rotating and making them take tough shots.

I've run out of gas. I'm tired of being on the road. I just don't have it.

It's a lot of bus rides, a lot of plane rides, a lot of hotels. And I realized that I just don't want to do it anymore. ... Fans will remember me for a lot of ups and downs. I've had good games, and my share of bad ones, too. But it's time for me to go.

Even when Matt had an off night shooting, he still did a lot of things to help the team.

I've had my ups and downs, but I believe in my heart that I've had more ups than downs. I can't complain. Eleven years is a long time.

I hope they're going to welcome him, give him a chance. I'm sure there'll be some boos in there, but, whatever. He just needs to come out and play hard and have a good game and get those people who aren't on the bandwagon back on the bandwagon.

I'm not a guy who can sit on the bench and collect a paycheck. I realized if I couldn't play for this team, there aren't many I can play for.

I guess I am, kind of. You know, guys have questions, I want to try to answer them. Be as honest as possible, don't b.s. them. I just try to lead by example, more than anything.

I don't mind if they clean it up a little bit. But ... they can go without them (expletive) sport coats.
