Eric Snow Quotations

I'm a firm believer in the hustle game.

The deeper you get into the playoffs, obviously the better the opponent is. Which means they'll be better defensively, they'll rebound better, they don't turn the ball over.

I haven't seen one guy beat five people yet. It needs to be done collectively.

Whenever we don't turn the ball over, we're pretty productive. When you're turning the ball over, you're cutting down on offensive opportunities.

I'm very happy and excited to be re-joining the Sixers family as a part of their broadcast team. I spent my best and most enthusiastic years of my NBA career with this organization and its fans and I truly feel honored and blessed to have been given this opportunity to return.

We're moving on, ... Things happen, unfortunately. I apologize to coach. I apologize to the fans and the team so there is no need to dwell on it. It's an unfortunate incident. It was a misunderstanding, but he's still the coach and he's still allowed to make the decisions that he wants to make and players got to live with it.

Gaining the home-court advantage. That's what (the goal) has always been. (Detroit) jumped out to such a good start, everybody knew it was going to be tough to catch that team.

We just have to focus and concentrate on game two. This is just one game. There are going to be highs and lows. We just have to focus and concentrate on the next game.

There are so few people who can come into this league at 18 years old and be able to grasp what is going on and ... put in all the work and still produce and get so much better in the first three years. He's done the right things. I'm not so sure how I would have acted if I was given $100 million.

My sister was on me really bad yesterday (to shoot more). The queen had spoken, so I had to come in and shoot.

We had defensive lapses in the second half, only not as many. It's a will. You have to want to do it. It's sticking to the principles we practice every day. Sometimes if the team comes out and does the very things you're forcing them to do and they do well, you have to give them credit.

We had changed up how we were playing the pick-and-roll. We tried to trap him. We were able to get stops and secure the rebounds. He's a tough player to guard. It was more of (Carter) missing shots rather than us stopping him.

To me, the rules are made for guys to score more. And I guess that's where the entertainment comes in.

What people say, it shouldn't matter. They're going to hype whoever they're going to hype - some deservedly so. But it shouldn't affect one player's performance or passion for the game.

Every team that wins has a guy like Andy.

Nowadays, if you can't do it within the flow of the game you can't do it. It was a one-on-one incident, we're not out there to hurt someone.

Coach Brown's thing is, he should never have to coach effort. Guys should try hard. He should never have to coach that. That's one thing I know he believes in. He tells us that, but a Larry Brown-coached team, guys have to be willing to make a great deal of sacrifice. If you don't have that, it's not going to go very well.

They're the best team in the league right now, one of the best teams in the league the last three or four years. It's a test to see where we're at.

They are pushing the tempo more. Whenever you do that, you get more possessions. Under Larry Brown, they were more of an opportunistic fast-break team. Now, they are trying to run more.

At every level of his short NBA career, he's responded, and I think he'll respond in the playoffs. But it's not going to be easy. No matter how great those guys are, it's not easy the first time.

I told him, 'Daddy had a disagreement with the coach and that he respects the coach and listens to the coach,

It shouldn't effect my shooting, usually I don't feel it during the game. Now once the game is over, I really do.

Everybody pays so much attention to points. Larry can make plays, push the ball up in transition. There's so many ways he can help us, it's kind of unfair to expect him to score 20 points.

It's definitely going to be an adjustment without Larry. He's our second leading scorer, our second best player and our best perimeter defender. I don't think anyone can fill in for Larry, but everybody has to do a little more.

I know that here and when I was in Philly, they did the best they could to keep their best player. Ultimately, that decision is going to come down to the player, but they have to do their best to keep them happy. Thus far, they've done that here.

I'm happy for those kids. Let those kids know if they work as hard as they can and do what they're asked to, they'll give themselves an opportunity to win the championship. They're a great example for the future kids to come.

If we want to be an elite team, we have to do it for more than a half on the road. We need to play with more of a sense of urgency early on.

He's the coach, ... Everybody gets upset when they come out of the game, but there's no need to show frustration.

Hopefully, (I've helped him) with my influence of being a better man and a better person. I can't tell him how to do everything. I can help and encourage him in any way I can. It's my job to put him in the best position to succeed. Off the court, I try to live my life the best way.
