We just cracked. We had this game. We're not supposed to lose that one. I would rather get blown out.

It's just learning the game more. Just trying to approach it in a John Stockton-type of way, to where you don't play so much with your physical ability all the time. You have to think the game out a lot more. That's where I'm a lot better. I know the game a lot more. I see things before they happen a lot.

Believe me, I am not even that brave enough to miss that many practices.

It?s going to be a tough week because it?s going to be a playoff atmosphere. It?s important for us to try to win one game at a time and just concentrate on that. Whatever opponent we have to play, just worry about those guys. And then worry about whatever happens after that.

It probably was a fall and it swelled up on me. I kept playing on it. ... My doctors just said rest it as much as possible.

I was the bridge between the Michael Jordan era and LeBron James era.

We just needed win - period. We're just struggling so badly right now. Then to lose this would have been bad because we played really well defensively.

We're not eliminated till we're eliminated. I just feel good about not being eliminated. We get to live another day.

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.

This is the thing you dream about when you're a kid, even before getting into the league.

We've got a guy on the team who was 8 years old when I first got into the league.

It's unfair because the people booing, I believe, wouldn't want to have their child booed. Fans don't understand our lives and what we go through. They don't look at us as humans. We love the fans because they support and love the game, but at the same time it hurts when they turn their back on us.
Allen Iverson
-
We aren't playing defense and we aren't rebounding the basketball. This has gotten off to a bad start, but we have to find a way to turn it around.
Allen Iverson
-
I feel like everybody knows what is at stake. Everybody knows the importance of every game. We had a good meeting before the game in New York and I think it helped us out because it got us focusing on what we need to do as a basketball team.

There's only one thing I still haven't done and that's win (the championship). That's the only thing I want now.
Allen Iverson
-
We just believed in each other, got defensive stops when we needed them and executed our offense. We were able to make something happen.
Allen Iverson
-
The most I got out of it was that guys need to take a challenge to make this team better. He talked about during this bad time that we're going through right now that it was important for everybody to stick together.

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.

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 don't want them to take my money, either. That's just like taking it and burning it.

Getting those two guys on the same page will be a major factor on us having a good season,'' Cheeks said.
Allen Iverson
-
If I had an explanation, I'd give it. We just got whipped from beginning to end. They did everything right, and we couldn't do anything right.
Allen Iverson

But when you want to come to work, it makes things that much better. Mentally, when you're at work, it doesn't feel like work. When you take the fun part away from basketball, that's a problem.

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.
