Scott Skiles Almost Quotations

My guys almost every night battle really hard. They've had a lot of things go against them in late game situations and we haven't been able to seize the moment. Lately, we've been able to do that and our guys appear to growing up as a team.

He can pretty much forget almost everything from one second to the next. I don't know if he did or not because he certainly knew. I hope he didn't.

He's almost an inch taller. Maybe by next year he'll be a 7-footer.

We'll take the win, but you end up almost feeling a little bit bad about it. They outplayed us for three quarters, handily,

Tyson didn't do much this summer, from what I've seen, compared to last summer when he was here almost 75 days. It's the old thing where your agent tells you don't do anything until you get a contract, and a lot of guys think that literally means don't do anything. It really means don't play basketball.

There is no question we have been fouling too much. We have silly fouls, but then I see the other team fouling like that and not being called. (Anthony) shot 21 free throws. He almost doubled our whole team.

If you never done it the way Kirk does it, it's hard to explain how hard it is to chase some of the game's best players around two, three, four screens sometimes in the same possession and almost always taller than him, sometimes stronger also, so he does such a good job of it. I thought it wore him down a little bit, but he really responded late in the game. I thought overall it was (one) Kirk's better games.

It seems every time we play Boston, it's almost the same game. Usually, they'll lead for a little while, then somehow we'll get back into it. They all seem to go down to the end.
