They executed, they got on top of the basket. If you made a mistake defensively, they took care of it. They made us turn the ball over if we messed up our spacing on the floor. They used us on the pin down. Guys couldn't get up and get over screens. It was kind of a revealing experience for our players. You see those things and talk about those things, but we aren't able to get to that point where we can stop that sort of thing. Jerry Sloan

![I tell the players, 'I'm sorry that you got hurt, but there's not a thing I can do about it'. You've got to go forward. That's the only thing I know. That's what I've tried to convey to our players. We've been fortunate here. Our organization for 18 years had very few injuries when John [Stockton] and Karl [Malone] were here ... I understood all along we were fortunate our guys stayed healthy. That's life in the NBA. If you don't like it, there's other jobs. - Jerry Sloan Quotes](/pic/img/img.php?text=SSB0ZWxsIHRoZSBwbGF5ZXJzLCAnSSdtIHNvcnJ5IHRoYXQgeW91IGdvdCBodXJ0LCBidXQgdGhlcmUncyBub3QgYSB0aGluZyBJIGNhbiBkbyBhYm91dCBpdCcuIFlvdSd2ZSBnb3QgdG8gZ28gZm9yd2FyZC4gVGhhdCdzIHRoZSBvbmx5IHRoaW5nIEkga25vdy4gVGhhdCdzIHdoYXQgSSd2ZSB0cmllZCB0byBjb252ZXkgdG8gb3VyIHBsYXllcnMuIFdlJ3ZlIGJlZW4gZm9ydHVuYXRlIGhlcmUuIE91ciBvcmdhbml6YXRpb24gZm9yIDE4IHllYXJzIGhhZCB2ZXJ5IGZldyBpbmp1cmllcyB3aGVuIEpvaG4gW1N0b2NrdG9uXSBhbmQgS2FybCBbTWFsb25lXSB3ZXJlIGhlcmUgLi4uIEkgdW5kZXJzdG9vZCBhbGwgYWxvbmcgd2Ugd2VyZSBmb3J0dW5hdGUgb3VyIGd1eXMgc3RheWVkIGhlYWx0aHkuIFRoYXQncyBsaWZlIGluIHRoZSBOQkEuIElmIHlvdSBkb24ndCBsaWtlIGl0LCB0aGVyZSdzIG90aGVyIGpvYnMuIA==&author=ICBKZXJyeSBTbG9hbiAgICA=&num=7 "I tell the players, 'I'm sorry that you got hurt, but there's not a thing I can do about it'.
