Greg Buckner Quotations

Were just not playing well on the defensive or the offensive end right now. Sometimes you can get away with it if you're not playing well on one end, but we're not playing well on either end and it's getting us in trouble right now.

I think Melo has a great supporting cast. Once we get the entire cast together, we'll see how good Melo is and how good the team is.

That's the way Eddie made his niche in the league, doing little things, doing the dirty work, continuing to play hard every night. That's what he's doing. His body's banged up right now, but he's still doing the things that Eddie does.

We can't worry about our shooting. Defense is much more important right now.

We had a lot of confidence when coach Karl got here. We just felt like every game was ours and that's how we went out there. Unfortunately, for some reason this year, we haven't had that confidence in the fourth quarter.

We ain't even thinking about the division title. We've got to get better. That's all we know. We've got to be able to beat the two Texas teams (Dallas and San Antonio) and Phoenix in a playoff series, so we've got to get better.

With a discrepancy like that, it's pretty hard to win games.

The playoffs, that's just the way that it is. You're not going to get too many transition (baskets).

Ain't nobody guarded us on the three-point line all year. (The Clippers) have played us the same way everybody has.

It's not like tennis or golf, where you can depend on yourself. If you come into it as a selfish person, you're not even going to make it to this league.

It's fun basketball. You enjoy it because you've got that opportunity to freewheel and run.

It will take something real major to keep me out.

George isn't a dictator. There aren't many dictators left in this league. You're not going to last long as a dictator.

You won't see me get excited and going crazy until we win the world championship. It's not perfect until we get that parade down Speer.
