Byron Scott Second Quotations

Right now I'm disappointed because we are not ready to play in the second half. We are coming down the floor like we are down 30 points, putting up threes and not getting into the lane. I thought we were soft on defense, soft on the boards. That tells me we're scared.

I don't know what our record is going against him. I know in Jersey my second and third years, we had a good team. But that doesn't matter. He's still a great coach.

We didn't come out with any fire, any emotion or any intensity and they took advantage of it. We came out very lackadaisical. We just didn't play the second half the way we are capable of playing. We were soft and they did whatever they wanted.

We are so weak mentally and physically. When it comes to the second half, we might as well just get on the bus because our guys don't show up. We're just not tough enough. I think a few of guys in there quit, which is very disappointing to me. And they won't be here, simple as that.

Deke came in the second quarter and did a heck of a job. He was doing a great job of blocking shots, taking up space and that?s what we needed.

It's starting to get better. We still had some lapses in the second half. That's the problem with our young guys. We get a little comfortable when we have a nice little lead.

The base of our team is our athleticism and our quickness. We didn't start using that until the second half. That's the type of basketball we have to play to be successful.

I really don't think they'll have the residency, the economics to support a second franchise. I think our attendance would probably be worse, because I don't think you have enough people. That's my main concern.

I didn't think in the first half we were here. We were just kind of out there going through the motions and at halftime I wasn't very happy. Much better effort in the second half and we got the win.

I can't wait to get him back. Our second unit needs that point guard, needs a guy like Speedy in there.
