Rick Adelman Road Quotations

We're going to have to win some games on the road if we're going to get in the playoffs.

I don't want to be down 3-0 to the world champions. That would make it tough. It's definitely a game we have to win. ... They're the best road team in the league. When you're playing a team like this in the playoffs, they're not going to be intimidated by our crowd, but our crowd can certainly get us going.

I always say that on the road you want to give yourself a chance to win in the fourth quarter.

It's a big win for us obviously. They needed a win, too, and any win you can get down the stretch especially on the road. Any road win we can get right now is really huge for us.

You can't expect him not to have feelings about this, but I expect him to be able to handle things. It's not been an easy situation. It's not the best thing to happen when you're on a six-game road trip.

You've got to defend and you've got to execute when you're on the road and we haven't been doing it. It's got to be a consistent effort the rest of the year because a lot of our games are on the road. I think we can get there. We have the team. We have the wherewithal within the games to attack people. But we have to finish games.
