Kyle Korver Quotations

We?re just playing together, we?re playing with a greater sense of urgency, and Allen is leading us. I really feel like he?s the key. He?s the leader and he?s been playing great. He?s been a lot more vocal. He has a different look in his eye. And when he has that look, he?s pretty tough to stop.

We didn't turn the ball over and we got good shots. We didn't just rely on isolation plays and that was something that was different tonight. We just finished it off really well.

Shooting threes is always what I do best. If it's not what I do best, something is wrong with my game.

He hit that (three-pointer) over me in the first game of the season. I thought I contested it so hard the first game and he still made it. I was, like, 'Not again.' But he missed it.

It changes everything. They're two guys with the same athletic makeup. They're blocking shots and getting rebounds. Second-chance points are something that's really hurt us this year. And when those guys are both playing like that, (the opponent) isn't getting any of that. It really does change a lot of things for us. This is really what we had envisioned at the beginning of the season.

Maybe it'll be a good thing. Maybe we just need to get out of here and just say it's us or nothing.

We've talked more about defense in practice. When we watch film, that's all we watch is defense -- we don't even watch our offense right now. (Defense) has just been our focus. We're playing a different style of basketball right now in terms of slowing it down. We're playing well.

We're all just pretty disappointed. It was a long year, a tough year, a disappointing year. We're a lot better than what we've shown all year. I think everyone knows that. We just didn't come together like we needed to. There wasn't the cohesiveness we needed on this team.

You always wanted to get that last win at home. The season hasn't gone exactly the way we wanted it to go, but you want to end it right - so that's what we're trying to do.

We just didn't play well in the first half. That second, we played harder, played a lot better, a lot more energy.

We gave up 86 points in an overtime game. We've given that up in three quarters a lot of times lately.

We gave up 86 points in an overtime game. It seems like we've been giving up 86 points in three quarters in the last month.

We are playing with a greater sense of urgency, and Allen is leading us. I really feel like he's the key. He has a different look in his eye. When he has that look, he's pretty tough to stop.

We kept saying in the huddle that we're not going to lose to this team four times.

This was a huge boost for us. Now we feel like we can do some things. We've just played together. We talked all year about doing that.

We've got to do something. There's not really a lot of options, so we'll try this.

We've just been playing harder. I don't know why this has all of a sudden clicked like it has. We've said all along we have tools, we have talent. For a while, our effort just wasn't there, but I can't put a finger on why it was that way.

We've been looking for something to get us going for a while. We had some long practices, we had some long meetings. But we got back to having fun out there. When you're having fun, you're going to player harder. When you're playing harder, you're playing better defense.

We all feel bad for him. We don't know the whole story. We're just going to wait and see what happens with that. Obviously, we're thinking of him a lot. He's a great guy and a great teammate.

Things just came to me. It has been a tough month and hopefully this is the start of a better part of the season.

I?ve played in thousands of pickup games and maybe sprained an ankle here and there, but you can?t be that worried about it,

The second half is how we have to play. That half was played with a sense of urgency.

It's all about fitting together and playing together. If we do that, we really have a nice team. That's the key for us. If everyone feels like they're playing at both ends, they're going to play harder.

It?s hard. He?s such a good guy, it?s hard to just watch it. You?ve just got to pray for him. But it?s Willie Green. He?s gonna do everything he can to get back on time. He?s just a natural athlete. I?m sure he?ll heal quickly. He came back from his thumb injury well his rookie year, I think. I don?t have any doubt that he?s gonna come back. It?s just a matter of how long it?s gonna take him.

I just can't figure out how he can miss that many days and come back and play like that. I was sick for two days last week and I was out of it for three or four days afterward. I couldn't get into a rhythm at all.

I pulled up, and gave about all I had. It was on line, luckily.

If you really have fear, you play a little harder than we did and we didn't play that way. It seems like we're a step slow. We're not the most athletic team, so we have to me more aggressive. We've gone over everything we can think of why we don't finish off games, but we don't and tonight was just another case of that.

He's just a freak. Whenever he wants to turn it on, he just has this switch.

Allen just comes out and performs, and the numbers he puts up are great. He's just playing really really well right now.
