Adrian Griffin Quotations

We've got excellent scorers. Why do they need me to take shots away from them? I know what I need to do to help this team.

Guys get hurt and other guys have got to pull their weight and pick up the slack. We don't make excuses. Obviously we are better when everyone is healthy.

He's a leader, he knows how to get the best out of us. He has a lot of energy. When I played with him, he was still vocal, he was still a leader. ... Some people just have a knack and a gift for that sort of thing, and I think he has it.

He's a leader, he knows how to get the best out of us. He has a lot of energy.

His name speaks well. He's a leader, he knows how to get the best out of us. ... He has more energy than half the players on this team. He wants to win. When a coach puts forth that much effort, it's contagious.

He commended us on how great a win it was. That would have been a devastating loss. He didn't really yell at halftime. He just got our attention. It's like if somebody nudges you, you might not notice. But if you push a little harder, you get their attention.

I think that is why we came out with a lot of energy. We know he is capable of putting up big numbers. As a team, we have been playing some good ball and we just wanted to continue that.

Whoever guarded him played with a lot of energy. Fortunately, he didn't get going like he usually can.

We don't want to make any predictions. But we know if we take care of our business, we can go pretty far.

We got the win, it didn't matter how ugly it was. We needed to get back on track.

We just followed the game plan. Defending those guys is just a total team effort.

Some people have a knack and a gift for that sort of thing, and I think he has it. I don't see too much difference.

It starts with the coach. He gets us ready. We're very prepared. You look at our second unit, even our third unit. Guys come in and they are play with energy. We're so deep. Everybody is real excited about this team.

But he can't go out on the court and play. We have to take some accountability as players.

I felt something pop in there. I'll wait and see how it feels.
