Phil Jackson Time Quotations

She comes to attack you every time you come through the door.

Obviously when the threes aren't going it's time to stop shooting them. We kept going to it and got desperate at the end trying to hit home runs. We can't do that.

I think some of our guys hit a little bit of a wall here. We talked a lot about that ... This is a heavy time to play basketball. You've really got to take care of yourself. I had a couple of guys fighting through things out there, under-the-weather type of things. They just couldn't get themselves going.

When Stephen got hurt...it was either a motivating force for the Pacers to get their run, but at the same time he was turning the ball over a lot, so he may have been an asset by default.

We got in a situation where we were waiting for Kobe?s hand to get hot. We started trying to force it in to him and that hurt us. Kobe had a hard time chasing Dixon around screens.

We've had a couple momentum shifts throughout the course of the year, and this is what we've been talking about as a group - we want to build the momentum, because now is the time to do it. We've shown signs of this - the Houston game at the end of the road trip.

There's plenty of time to look at this for a while until either he shows improvement or else we go back to more of a basic offensive standard ... and take that guard responsibility away. Move him into a forward place where he can make plays and he can still be a participant in the offense.

They almost made me get up and walk out of the building in the third quarter. I almost left them alone on a sinking ship. But they got it right in time and it took another 10 minutes but they finally got it right and got going. That's what a layoff will do sometimes.

It's 1-1. We haven't done anything yet. Now it's time to come home and see if we can't win on our court and get the actual lead in the series.

I told the guys at halftime, they had their nap in the first half, now it's time to play. And you saw what happened. We slept almost all the way through the third quarter.

It's time to penetrate and find somebody else if that's not the shot you're making or you're comfortable with. You have to know that.

It was a game where our rebounds and defense really failed us and eventually, I had to think about an offensive unit that could do some things to try and catch up. Kobe obviously wasn't right tonight, but this is the second time Blake has scored big against us in critical situations.

It was probably here in Atlanta, the last time it happened.

I know these teams have to have an answer, and it's time for the draft to commence and things to happen. I'll be off the queue here in another day or two.

I'll just say that hopefully they've drained the mud out of the building, and the termites aren't going to eat the buildings away in between the time we get down there. They made a good judgment probably to get this back in, and that's the important thing about it.

He's moved on. It's time for the fans to move on.
