Sarunas Jasikevicius Quotations

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs were just better.

Hopefully I'll be a small piece of the puzzle and contribute.

I think we are searching. We went into the season with a certain identity, and obviously things are changing right now. We have one of the best players in the league and a good coaching staff and good veterans. It's a tough stretch right now.

I would like to have some kind of role on this team, there's no question about it but ultimately we help Pacers to win, ... Don't get me wrong. I would like to play. I would like to play a lot. That's not a question. But we're one month away from the season, and there's so much more important stuff than your role on the team. If you're in shape, if you come ready to play, if you take care of your body, then that other stuff will take care of itself. I really believe that.

We hung in there, gave ourselves a chance to win, but didn't take advantage of it. We fought together and showed that we could be a good basketball team.

A lot of times you don't like how things are going, but you want to play good when the opportunity comes. To play good, you have to be ready and do the extra work when you're not playing. When I'm not playing, I try to simulate game situations as much as I can.

We can give up talent for team chemistry. Team chemistry is more important than talent. We definitely have enough talent to go very far.

Whether I'm right or wrong, we can talk in one or two years.

Sometimes we prove we're a resilient bunch and get through all these problems and show how good we can be. Sometimes we're not so good. Lately we've been all right. Lately our attitude and how we approach the game has been much better. We just have to keep fighting and hopefully we can get the guys healthy and make a run.

Sometimes we are very good, and other times we are very bad. Hopefully, we can get in the playoffs and do well.
