Whether it's an old team or a young team, ... there's a certain way the game has to be played.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
We had a lot of guys just running hot, and we were running hot to start the game again tonight. That's a nice come-from-behind victory on the road for us. I've seen a lot of road games.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
Winning a season series is something we didn't talk about much after the first half. You look at the numbers and see where you are and think maybe we can steal a game or two from them. . . . Obviously, we've been able to do a little more than that.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
I talked to Todd (on Sunday) night after the game and left another message for him (Monday) morning. He told me he might not make it on this road trip and laughed.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
He didn't have his best stuff tonight. His command wasn't nearly what it has been in the past. He had a four-run cushion, wasn't really able to capitalize on it. But he still left the game with a lead, so it wasn't a lost effort by any means. He battled.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
His voice was stronger. He got a big kick out of the game last night. He sent text messages to the players after.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
We took a chance, but it's not like we were drawing plays up in the dirt. We talked before the game that he wasn't going to get a chance to beat us.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
He got off to a good run, but his command has become a little more inconsistent of late. He's got a history of issues with command. If his command doesn't get to be above average, he will fall in the line of a lot of pitchers who will show you a good game once in a while, and then you wonder why they don't have more success.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
He hit his spots, had a good split and worked his fastball on both sides of the plate. We're not on top of our game offensively and he didn't make it any easier on us.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
He is capable of better and we need better from him. We know and he knows he can deliver better. I talked with him during the game and after the game. Sometimes you have confidence in your ability and wait for things to happen. And sometimes you have to make things happen.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
One of the toughest things to do as a man in anything is to slow down when we're not doing what we think we should be doing. As men, we want to step on the gas. That's a defining point. It's a growth thing for me. It's the next step into a player becoming more entrenched at the Major League level, to have the ability to slow the game down.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
Leaving a game in the fifth inning I wouldn't think would make any pitcher happy, ... Sometimes different things will motivate people different ways.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
We made a lot of mistakes, though, through the game to put us in that position. I don't think you can hang the (goat) horns on Brian.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
We need better from him. He's capable of better. He knows he should be better. I talked to him a little bit during the game and then again after the game. ... He's capable of better. We've all seen better. He needs to take the momentum from the last two innings and roll that into his next start.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
We've always wanted to improve our bullpen, but until this year we weren't able to get the pieces we wanted. It's been frustrating. . . . It's not easy to spend the bulk of the game battling for a lead and then seeing it get away. . . . Now we have some depth. We have some quality arms.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
Every since I started playing basketball, I wanted to be just like Kobe. To get to see him play in person, and to meet him, was just a dream come true.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
I got to go to practice one day, shoot around, and rebound for LeBron James. That was still an unreal experience.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
I didn't expect this - to be 19, be a rookie, playing this much and having a kid. It's a lot, but, I mean, I'm enjoying it.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
It's a lot of fun, especially when you're winning. Playing at home in front of the best fans - doesn't get any better than that.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
I guess people looked at me in college, said I couldn't shoot or play defense. I proved them wrong.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
I gained, like, 20 pounds in, like, two and a half, three weeks. So I just got too big too fast, and my body wasn't adjusted to that.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
I remember placing the New Era cap on my head at the 2017 NBA draft - that moment changed my life. I'm excited to be a part of a brand that has a strong sport heritage and look forward to being a part of their history.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
You work all season to earn the trust of your teammates and the coaching staff.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
I just try to stay in my little circle. And I don't try to do too much. And when my opportunity comes, I just try to make the most of it.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
All good players have to do that, to learn how to get better throughout the season. Just really work on my body. Just try to stay healthy and be stronger. Just try to get bigger.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
Talent level, I feel like if I'm not the best, I'm one or two. I think it's just opportunity, the situation that you're in, and who's on your team. I think I've done all right.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
There's no greater feeling, I would imagine, than winning a national championship in that one year and then hopefully going to the NBA.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
No matter what team you're playing for, the ultimate goal is to be the last team standing.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
The Single Mothers Program is something I would love to start if I'm fortunate enough to make it to the NBA and things like that.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
Each person's workout is really different. It's tailored to be what's most needed for them. Everybody's different.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
Growing up with videos and YouTube, being able to see content from the '90s - music and games - that really helped me stay connected with the time before me.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
All I used to want to do was shoot fadeaways like Kobe because he was my favorite player.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
The Celtics were always going to pick me No. 1, but Philly didn't know that.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
I'm looking to try to do more out there and just taking advantage of the opportunities that I've been given.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
There's a lot of talented guys, but at the end of the day, you've got to go out there and get it. It's really about who's competing and who wants it more on both ends of the floor.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
My mom tried to not let me see how much we were struggling, but I noticed it. I think that's what made me work harder. I saw how hard she was working, and I just wanted a better life for both of us.
Quote by -Clint Hurdle
I love Coach K's passion to coach his players and to coach the game. I examined and watched the interaction between him and his staff, along with the players, and was impressed how hard they played.
