Joe Mazzulla on being in contention for Coach of the Year I haven't made one basket all year Our staff hasn't made a basket We haven't gotten a block We haven't ran back on defense We didn't play in a back-to-back We didn't have to play hurt We haven't really done shit

Mitch Johnson We werent ready to win an NBA championship The better team won We did a lot of good things and we didnt finish the job That's what it is

After Joe was claimed off waivers by OKC in 2022 he refused the coach's ask to play a G-League scrimmage saying Respectfully I'm not a G-League player A week later OKC is down 16 in a game with 4 minutes left Joe is put in scores 15 pts in an OT win Daigneault admits Joe was crazy but right

SNY Jalen Brunson Our mentality has to be 0-0 the way it's been It has to be that way Us moving forward with that mindset can really benefit us but there's nothing to celebrate It's not over yet Not even close
