Trenton Hassell Quotations

I was going to donate some money, but to actually come down here and help, hands-on -- you can't beat that feeling.

If we would have maybe closed some of those games where we had leads going into the fourth, or the last four minutes, we could be right there. We've beaten some good teams. I think if some of those games would have went our way, we'd be in the playoffs, but they didn't. I think we have the talent here. We just have to pull it together and execute better.

He's a great coach, but that's a great team, too.

He's got Cleveland on his back right now. He keeps on getting better. His jumper is excellent this year. The best thing he does is make his teammates better.

He saw a familiar face and he turned around and had his hand out, and I had my hand out. But then I caught myself. It was funny.

I was wrong. Maybe I should've grabbed him and took my chances putting him on the line. I'll do it next time.

Those make you or break you. They're big games we should have won. We had leads in all of them and gave them up. When you play that hard and give yourself a chance to win, and it happens like that, it's heartbreaking.

We can't just hold the ball when the shot clock's running down and then swing it to him and want him to create a shot. I think it's on our backs to get him in better position and get him easy looks.

We're not stepping up and making shots as a team. We had a lot of open looks.

We were supposed to foul, but he pump-faked me and I didn't want to put him on the line for three shots. Maybe I should have grabbed him and took my chances putting him on the line. I'll do it next time.

Defensively, I think it's going to help them big time. You've got a power forward who does all the dirty work. You've got Ruben Patterson, who's one of the best defensive (small forwards) out there.

I missed the two free throws. I don't have any excuses. They just didn't go in. I felt I let my team down.

It's got a great shooting background. It's kind of like college; everything's kind of closed in.

Anytime I come home, it's great. I have a lot of friends and family here who have supported me through thick and thin.

This means a lot because everybody (in the Hall) is great at what they did, and they are great people. They laid the foundation for me.

You don't get guys built like that coming out of high school. He was a grown man coming out of high school.
