When we rebound the ball, we're able to do that. We don't want to come down and play a half-court game all the time.
Allen Iverson -
We didn't take care of it. We just struggled handling the ball.
Allen Iverson
-
We got things done at the right time. Every time we went down, we kept our composure, got back into the lead and were able to sustain it.
Allen Iverson -
I take everything I learned from the streets and put it in my NBA game.
Allen Iverson -
He got himself involved. It wasn't so much anything we did specifically ? we did really the same things we've been doing. He found ways to get his hands on the ball.
Allen Iverson -
We score with the best of them. If we concentrate on defense like we do on offense, then we'll win a lot more ballgames.
Allen Iverson -
I definitely wasn't trying to disrespect Mo in any way, or the fans, as everybody is talking about. I've been here for 10 years, and to deliberately try to disrespect the fans, I would never try to do that in any way. I'm upset it came across that way.
Allen Iverson -
If we don't have Willie it's going to hurt us. But we have so many guys ready to step up.
Allen Iverson
-
You just have to want to do it. I don't know how but I know that it has to be done. I know if we get frustrated and start turning on each other that it is only going to get worse.
Allen Iverson -
They are similar, absolutely. We have leads and we give a lead up. It's been happening like this, the same way.
Allen Iverson -
It's an honor you know to be able to accomplish something like that knowing what he meant to this franchise and to the league. It's a great accomplishment, but without my guys, there's no way to get that accomplished.
Allen Iverson -
We got to stop people. We go ahead and we score 100 points every night, but we give up more. Our whole thing was, we know we can score, and we have to start having some kind of fun on the defensive end. Everybody want to play offense. Not too many people want to play defense. Defense is ego, pride, and that's the way we've been coming out, just taking the challenge. Man-on-man first, and having each other's back when a guy gets beat.
Allen Iverson -
I dress to make myself comfortable. I really do have a problem with it. . . it's just not right.
Allen Iverson -
The good part about this is you get to see what type of character you have as a team.
Allen Iverson
-
When you have a half like that, nine times out of 10, you're going to have a good lead.
Allen Iverson -
He has that confidence, that swagger with him. He doesn't feel like a little young guy out of place anymore. He feels welcome. He knows that, that's his spot and he's a part of this franchise.
Allen Iverson -
I was surprised that they just let me wind the clock down and take a shot. I told my teammates that I was going to wind it down. ... I was hoping if I did miss, the ball would bounce and the time would run out.
Allen Iverson -
I wasn't a bad guy. I just wanted God to give me a second chance.
Allen Iverson -
We thought we had chances to get back into the game. We turned the ball over here and there, and they did what great teams do - they took advantage of it. When you are playing against a good team like (Detroit), you have to take advantage of the opportunities and you can't throw the ball away.
Allen Iverson -
Anybody who is a competitor knows this is what you want, this is what it's all about. As a competitor, this is the kind of situation you live for.
Allen Iverson
-
I see kids today trying to do the things I did, and it makes me feel like I've come a long way.
Allen Iverson -
If it didn't work out right, I'd probably be in here losing a lot of my money. That was bad. At that juncture of the game and on a significant play like that, you have to be able to see that play.
Allen Iverson -
I got us off to a bad start from the beginning of the game. The magnitude of the game and being in so many games like that, for me to be the one to act like I had never been in a game like that is unacceptable. I fully take responsibility for this one.
Allen Iverson -
It was a team effort. We did everything that we needed for the win. You can't put it on one thing. We've been doing a lot of things well. We're playing well together. We're defending. We're doing a lot of positive things out there. We're putting ourselves in a (position) to win. We're giving ourselves a chance every night, just playing well defensively. We feel like every night we can score 100 points, but we've got to stop people.
