Postgame Quotes-vs. Memphis
Brian Skinner:
“I keep saying it. We’ve got guys who can put numbers up. We’ve got Peja, we’ve got Mike, we’ve got guys who can put numbers up. I think one thing we needed to add was defensive intensity. On the defensive side, we’ve got to get some key stops, block shots, and make sure we get some rebounds.”
Maurice Evans:
“We knew with Kenny (Thomas) out, with Brad (Miller) out, with different guys out, we would have to try to attack the boards more. That’s something we’ve been lacking all season and I think we’re starting to realize that we can be a lot better rebounding team than what we were.”
“Mike and Peja are definitely both very capable. It’s just really good we have a guy that can step up and make a shot when it counts.”
Darius Songaila:
“It was a [designed] play. Mike caught the ball a little out there, but it was for him.”
“We were getting good shots, open shots. The ones that were hitting in the first and second quarter, weren’t going down in the end. In the end it came down to getting big stops on the defensive end and Mike making that big shot.”
“Look at Brian [Skinner], he’s out there battling, blocking shots and Corliss and those guys bring that toughness in and I think it shows.”
Mike Bibby:
“It (the last play) was drawn up, but to get a shot off, that was the main thing.”
On whether the last entry pass was deflected:
“Yeah, it was hit, but that’s how it goes sometimes.”
“We gave them a run, and we couldn’t score for a little bit, they kept coming back. But we got what we wanted, we got the defensive rebound and we got the last shot.”
“We’re just having a good time together. On the road, it was a kind of spur of the moment thing. We just had to get them in and play them (the new guys) kind of blindly. But now, everybody’s playing well, everybody’s playing hard and we’re getting wins.”
On whether he likes having the game on his shoulders with 1.4 seconds left:
“Yeah, I like it.”
MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES
Coach Mike Fratello:
“They did not start the clock and the ball was deflected. Therefore, the game should have been over and we should be in overtime right now playing. But because they do not have the power to correct an incorrect decision we have a team with a loss right now that still should be playing.”
“They said they saw the ball deflected, but they also said they are not allowed to change that and that they can only judge on whether it was out of [Mike] Bibby’s hands in time.”
“We didn’t question whether it was out of Bibby’s hands or not, we question whether the clock started on time; which it did not start on time. I don’t care what anybody tells me. You can’t approximate how much time was lost by the time our guy deflected it, it went in the air and Michael caught it. That’s why the ball died like a quail and changed direction. That’s why it was short and Michael had to run to it, because it got deflected. Which we said from the time the game ended that it got deflected. The clock did not start.”
“We did a certain way, he [Posey] did it exactly right, he got his hands up with his long arms and deflected the ball. The clock did not start then. The clock started when Bibby caught the ball.”
James Posey
Did Mike get the shot off?
“We’ll never know.”
“You just have to play the game out and give yourself the chance to win. NBA teams make runs. They made a run, we made a run, they made a run, and we made a run. They make the basket and they won. So that’s what happened. You have to give them credit. They did what it took to win the game tonight and they deserve it.”
“You always get a great show when you come to ARCO (Arena). That’s what it is, a show. That’s what you’re going to get.”
Earl Watson
“I knew it was going to him [Bibby]. I wanted to open and go back through, but the ankle was not good enough for that. I chased him and I fought him. [James] Posey tipped the ball, great defense on the ball. He [Mike Bibby] caught it and he hit a big shot. He’s hit big shots his whole career since I’ve seen him play, so [it was a] total Bibby shot.”
“He’s always hit big shots and that was a huge shot off the backboard. I don’t think he called glass [laugh]. But it was a tough shot.”
