If we don't have Willie it's going to hurt us. But we have so many guys ready to step up.

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.

I gave everything I had to basketball. The passion is still there but the desire to play is not. It was a great ride.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

We couldn't stop them. We got beat in every aspect of the game.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
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
-
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.
Allen Iverson
-
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

His opinion is his opinion - and it's just that. I don't have anything negative to say about him, and I don't have anything negative to say about the situation.
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.

If I leave Philadelphia, it's not because I want to leave. I'm still in love with the place. I want to be here.

When you have a half like that, nine times out of 10, you're going to have a good lead.

It makes it that much easier for me, especially when he gets that attention on the post and people double him, and I get the entry pass. I get people running out at me, I can drive to the basket or hit that shot. And running the pick-and-roll, when guys try to take the ball out of my hands, all I do is make that one little pass at the free throw line. And when (Webber) is knocking it down, it?s tough for a team to stop us.
