Maurice Cheeks Ourselves Quotations

It certainly will give us a boost to get ready for the second half. We needed a boost to get us back feeling good about ourselves and playing against a team like San Antonio, the defending champions, gives you a chance to feel good about yourselves.

We can?t rely on going home. We have to start building ourselves a little momentum -- take it one step at a time and take it one game at a time.

We just don't do enough. We must turn it immediately and believe in ourselves to be in the playoffs. We must defend much better.

It's always easy when you get beat to beat ourselves up. We're going to keep trying, keep working.

It's always easy when we get beat to beat ourselves up. We've got to get better on defense and our offense has slipped the last couple games. We're going to get there.

I just thought we needed something good to happen to us to feel good about ourselves and these two wins are big for us.

I know John had seven turnovers but his effort was there. He is not used to playing as many minutes as he has been playing. This is a test for him to keep playing and this is a test for all of us to find a way to get ourselves out of this.
