Bernie Bickerstaff Hard Quotations

We are fortunate that this was a minor injury and caught early. Sean has a great work ethic and we know he will work extremely hard to be back to 100 percent when the regular season begins.

We make it hard sometimes. We sit on top of the mountain and don't recognize what you need to do.

I thought our guys played hard and played terrific. They did everything that they could to win the basketball game. The one concern I have is with Gerald and Raymond, is that I don't want them to get discouraged. I want them to keep taking that basketball to the hole, but they get discouraged when they don't get rewarded.

Well, it's important and what it does is help our players. That there's an appreciation for what we do. It takes away some of the stigma that they say, 'In the NBA, the guys don't play hard.' I don't agree with that. Teams play hard in this league. You get out there and try to play 82 games. I just think these guys make it look so easy because of their skill level that people think they're just going through the motions.

We made it hard again. We're sitting on top of the mountain again and we don't recognize it. We allow little things to take us out of it. We have to be above those things.

We finished this one. We made it hard though. I told the guys that they are kind of hard on their coaches.
