I'd love to stop writing about this, but these quotes need to be passed along:
Ryan Gomes (AP Recap):
"I probably (would have played), but since we were in the hunt for a high draft pick, of course things are different," Gomes said. "I understand that. Hopefully things get better. Now that we clinched at least having the second-most balls in the lottery, the last three games we'll see what happens. We'll see if we can go out and finish some games."
Doc (Herald):
“Well, we earned it, I’ll tell you that,†Rivers said of the dubious distinction. “Now we can move on. Memphis earned the No. 1, Milwaukee the No. 3, and we all had the same problems. We couldn’t stay healthy. If you have to go through this hell, then you can hopefully get something out of it.â€Â
