“It’s the same problem we saw from the preseason games and they’re still there now. We’re not turning a corner. We don’t look like we have fun playing with one another. It seems like everybody still tries to put it on their back. Even though we had more assists, even though we moved the ball from strong to weak (side), it was just still guys pouting. It’s been happening since the first game. Guys are willing to lose if they’re not getting their way.” - Head coach Anfernee Hardaway on his team after 2 losses.

 

 

"You hear the clichés that it's always another game. But this game is not another game. This is a big game for us. We know how big it is. We're going to try to do our best in practice. Our scout team is really good and execute their plays in practice so we know what they've got. We know how big this game is and we're ready." - Jarkel Joiner on their preparation for this game.
