Doc Rivers Tough Quotations

Everybody likes each other until things get tough. Then you will find out what kind of team you have.

I don't think you're going to draw much from this game at all, it was not a beautiful game in any way. I really thought it was tough for both teams, you could see early on, to get it going.

He's doing much better. He looks great. He's feeling better. He's talking more. We've got to get him to eat and all that stuff, but at 88, it would probably be tough to get me to eat, too.

Tony Dungy is as classy a human being as you will ever know. This is a tough one. I don't know how a team gets through that, to be honest.

Even if we got it up court, we wouldn't have gotten a good shot off. It's a tough loss. The game felt like the last team who had the ball was going to score. Nobody was playing defense on either team.

(The win) was huge. You know going out on the road having lost two tough ones (if we lost this one) would not have been a good scenario for us. At least we know we can hang in games and win.

They're good. They've obviously hit a tough patch, but you know it's not going to last. Baron Davis is a hell of a player. He's one of the best point guards in the league. Everyone goes through a tough stretch. I just hope theirs lasts one more game.

It's a tough loss. The game felt like the team who had the ball last was going to score. Nobody was playing defense on either team. I guess that's what people want to watch. I don't.

I just want the players to decide the game. It's a tough one because this game was ours. Despite all the turnovers and the missed free throws, we still should have won this game.

If you make a lot of changes in this league and even if they can play, it takes time for it to work. Then when you start losing, the snowball starts. I don't care who you are, it's tough to turn around. I would hate to see them next year, even if they make no changes. I would bet you that they'd be much better.
