“Most of these guys are coming back and I think we can compete for a division. They're young and aggressive and learning the techniques. They have to spend time in the weight room to get bigger and stronger and if they do that, I think we can be a legitimate force.”
Pat Scelza
“We're going to win the division, ... If we don't, we've taken a step backward unless our young guys have done something where you can see hope. But I'm going to tell you this, and hopefully it won't be often: That young team stuff is not going to be used as a crutch. OK, we're young. So what?”
Doc Rivers
“I think Cleveland's an up-and-coming team. We have a good division.”
Donte Whitner
“I think our guys feel good about going to Division II. They know they can compete.”
Gary Lindgren
“I think it's a perfect fight for both guys. You have Hopkins, who is a legend in the middleweight division, and the same is true of Roy in the light heavyweight division. He owns the win over Hopkins and it's the right fight for both guys at this time.”
Brad Jacobs
“We talked about coming out strong in the division and I'm pleased with how the guys have responded. They guys are playing hard and making the big plays at the right time.”
Ray Scott
“The fact that we've won division titles in such strange ways every single year, I don't think there is one thing you can say other than Bobby Cox.”
