Milwaukee Bucks: 2018 exit interview highlights

Jason Terry

Terry on the biggest disappointment in reflecting on Game 7:

"“Just the missed opportunities. The want, the will to win every possession. I thought we left a lot of possessions out there. You just can’t do that in a Game 7. You have to own every inch of the court, and every possession matters. I think that’s something this team will learn from. Especially a guy like Giannis [Antetokounmpo], who obviously is going to be in that situation more and more throughout his career.”"

Terry on Coach Prunty’s performance as head coach:

"“I’ve been with Joe on three separate occasions now, and every time he doesn’t cease to amaze me on what he can do. X’s and O’s wise and as leadership. He was tremendous. He was put in a tough, tough situation, but he weathered the storm. They call him ‘Cool Joe’, and that’s what he was. He was a calming effect, I think he maximized the players’ potential with the little time he was given, and he took us as far as we could go.”"

Terry on his future:

"“I’m going to play another year. I can honestly stand here before you and tell you that all my efforts will be to come back with this organization. Obviously, I know my impact. I’ve been here two years now, and I want to see the finished product. Because I know the potential, I know where this organization is headed, and this year was another step — though we didn’t get the result we wanted — it was another step in the right direction. I know management, I’ve already had my discussions with them, and we’ll continue to talk throughout the summer. My intention is to come back here and finish it out here. I’m not saying it will be my final season, but I want to do 20 [seasons in the NBA] and then I’ll re-evaluate after that.”"
