We've just got to understand that (tonight) is a different day and we've got to perform better than we did (Wednesday) night.
-
I told him before the play that if both men went to me, to go to the basket and get a good shot. Things didn't go the way we wanted tonight.
-
John is going to feel bad because of the situation. Probably he will react to something not that serious because of the situation.
-
If we don't have Willie it's going to hurt us. But we have so many guys ready to step up.
-
To fight like we fought the majority of the game and then for that to happen to us with 4.9 seconds on the clock is just devastating.
-
You can't just put it on one thing. We have been doing a lot of things well. We are playing well together, we are defending, we are doing a lot of positive things out there.
-
I take everything I learned from the streets and put it in my NBA game.
-
I could have played 48 minutes. I have never had problems with my conditioning before. For a coach to say that he thinks my conditioning isn't there, that was something new for me. Because nobody never told me that, nobody questioned my conditioning or injuries or anything like that.
-
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.
-
We're not eliminated till we're eliminated. I just feel good about not being eliminated. We get to live another day.
-
I am the MVP and I gotta worry about the trade talk.
-
It makes it that much more important. I don't think it will have us play any harder because if you're not playing hard at this point with these games right here, then you're not gonna play hard anyway.
-
When you lose, there is a whole bunch of room for negativity and I don't feed into this stuff and I do not do any talking. I don't run my mouth.
-
I gave everything I had to basketball. The passion is still there but the desire to play is not. It was a great ride.
-
I've always said, just go ask my teammates if you want to know about me. Go ask the guys that I've played with. Don't ask or get information about me from people who are not in the locker room or not around me all of the time. Then you'll get legit answers.
-
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.
-
The whole team learned a lot tonight, ... I was glad to we had that situation where it was a close game and we had to get it done. We had to get a stop. We showed a lot of character there.
-
When you have a half like that, nine times out of 10, you're going to have a good lead.
-
We got things done at the right time tonight. Every time we went down we kept our composure and got back into the game. We were able to get a lead and sustain it. We showed a lot of character being that those guys (Washington) already had their playoff shirts made up and wanted to wear them after the game. We didn't give them a chance to do that, now they have to do it somewhere else. We had an extra incentive to beat them and that gave us a great lift. We just did everything right tonight.
-
We've got a guy on the team who was 8 years old when I first got into the league.
-
I don't put pressure on myself. I just compete.
-
These guys don't have all the physical ability but they are able to win basketball games because they play the right way.
-
We weren't ready to handle the back screens and all the cuts. They execute their plays to the fullest and get the best shot possible.
-
I believe that whatever we have, regardless of a trade being done or not, I feel we have a shot. I've just got to believe that we're going to be all right. I've got to just play basketball.
