She was laying on the floor and she'd be having her arm around me.
Allen Iverson -
It was important. We know they were a team that's been struggling all year and we just wanted to get this win tonight. Being that we got the one on their home court, we figured they were gonna try to come in and win one on ours and we did a good job of being focused and playing the game and finishing it out.

It's a big disappointment. They just jumped on us. Once we started to get into any type of groove offensively or defensively, it was too late.
Allen Iverson -
This is what you want. You want the big contract, and you want the people to show how much they want you. That's what Billy did today with those guys. He accepted them. It's important, because have some chemistry with each other. Sam and Kyle, they're starters on the team. I like the look of our team, and I like the direction we're heading. I'm just looking forward to trying to win a championship with them.
Allen Iverson -
I know we got guys in here who can get it done, because it happens on some nights. But it doesn't happen in others. This has to start with me, because I am our top offensive player. If I can send the message about playing defense, then I'm pretty sure everyone else will follow.
Allen Iverson -
I'd rather have more heart than talent any day.
Allen Iverson -
I think with this team we honestly worry about things other than the team concept, what makes up a good team. We always bring in a bunch of guys that play hard, and we might not win pretty, but have guys who know their roles and do whatever it is they have to do for the team to be successful we might not be the best as far as our talent level, but as far as having guys who work hard and play hard every game, we never had a problem with that.
Allen Iverson -
We've just got to understand that (tonight) is a different day and we've got to perform better than we did (Wednesday) night.

To me it's like starting all over, ... If you've watched any of the games I've played at the point guard position, it's honestly hard for other teams to stop it, because I'm putting pressure on guys. We don't always have to come down and rely on getting points off a set offense. We get a chance to run up and down the court and get a lot of easy baskets.
Allen Iverson -
I'd rather go to the playoffs than not go, even with a losing record. Because once you get there, you never know.
Allen Iverson -
It's a big win for us...just because we've been struggling to win a game after a game. You feel good about not giving up one after we win one.
Allen Iverson -
He took advantage of his opportunities. He just got himself involved. He played a great game.
Allen Iverson -
I don't want them to take my money, either. That's just like taking it and burning it.
Allen Iverson -
They played better offensively and we did a bad job guarding, ... We had a chance to put them away but we have been going through this the last couple of games, having leads and giving them up.
Allen Iverson
-
We just cracked. We had this game. We're not supposed to lose that one. I would rather get blown out.
Allen Iverson -
Once you get away and come back, you're ready to go. But knowing it's a fresh start, like a new season; we're taking it one game at a time.
Allen Iverson -
In 2001 we didn't have all the talent in the world, we just had me on offense and just a bunch of tough ass dudes, and a great coach in Larry Brown.
Allen Iverson -
We can score on anybody. But we have to focus on defense. They were just outworking us. Everybody has to step up, period, for us to be a better team.
Allen Iverson -
I want to win a ring. I want to have an opportunity to get back to the Finals, but I just have to take it one day at a time, and understand that it can happen -- and I always believe it. Once I stop believing the goal can be accomplished, there is no need to keep dressing up every night. All that matters is us getting into the playoffs, because then, anything can happen.
Allen Iverson -
We just got whipped from the beginning of the game to the end. They were making shots, they executed well both offensively and defensively. They just played real well tonight.

I remember playing in a tournament when at home we didn't have light, because my mom spent her last money on my sneakers.
Allen Iverson -
It's sore, but that's what I expected. I knew that once I missed the road trip that I was going to try to go the first game back. We had a couple of days off and I had a chance to practice once, so I'll be ready to go tomorrow.
Allen Iverson -
We've got to come out the same way we come out in the second half, ... We've got to start the game with some sense of urgency. Once teams start hitting shots and get a read on us, it's gonna put our backs against the wall. That's something we need to be concerned about.
Allen Iverson -
We're trying to get better, and we're not where we want to be -- but we've progressed. If we stay consistent on defense, we'll be fine. We'll get the easy baskets and then won't have rely on jumpers.
