In this first quote, I realize this isn’t a basketball reference but it sure meets the standard for the level of energy teams sometimes have on court.
John Anderson, coach of the NHL’s Atlanta Thrashers – Whether a team wants to compete or not…”Our give-a-crap level was, like, at zero.”
Anonymous, maybe A. J. Carr from the Charlotte Observer – High # of turnovers for both teams…”The game didn’t offer a clinic on ballhandling. There were 44 turnovers – 22 by each team – or enough to open a bakery, according to one observer.”
Jimmy Dykes/ESPN’s SEC game announcer – On importance of making that 1st shot for a young shooter…”For a young shooter it’s very important for that 1st shot to go down. He can go 1-10 or 5-10 depending on that 1st shot.”
Jimmy Dykes – As an offensive player. what constant movement does for a player…”He seldoms guards himself. He’s in constant motion.”
