Ike Diogu Quotations

He doesn't really say too much. It's my first year. Things are always going to be up and down.

Here we are about to play, and I'm not going to be able to play, so I'm a little bit disappointed. All the training -- I don't want to say it was for nothing -- but I was really excited to play in a game. It's a little bit frustrating now.

I think it works perfectly. He finishes off the games. He's the big reason we won today.

You just got to make the best of the situation. (Starting) doesn't really matter to me. Whatever is best for the team, that's the way that Montgomery approaches it and that's the way me and Adonal approach it.

We didn't come out to play very well in the beginning and we turned it up in the second half but you know, the deficit was just too big for us to take the game.

We always work out together, play against each other, make each other better. We have a good time on and off the court with each other, so it's a good relationship.

We've got a lot of injuries and the young guys are using this time to get better. We're not just going through the motions.

I've been getting more time, playing hard and playing like I know I can play.

Now if you mess up, you mess the whole play up.

That's how it is sometimes, you're going to have off-shooting days where we're not always going to be able to shoot 60 percent from the 3-point line. Today it was just one of those days. Normally we're a decent shooting team so it was one of our off nights.

This is a game that's hard to believe you lost. It was a must-win for us and we didn't get it done.

They stole a win from us last game. There was no way we should have lost that game.

It's just one of those things that's tough to figure out -- same thing with me. That just goes to show you've got to be ready because you never know when coach is going to call on you.

It's a must-win game. Our goal is to stay above .500, so in order to do that, we have a crucial game tomorrow against a good team. We have to win it. That has to be the mind-set of everybody on this team, and I think it is.

It's disappointing, but I guess it could have been worse. I've just got to prove myself all over again in practice. Practice is where it gets done.

Hopefully, I'll be able to go by then, ... Hopefully, I won't be out four weeks.
