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.

They knock Shaq about his free throws. I'm the one that needs to be getting knocked.

I had my popcorn just like probably everybody else. I was watching, and I was calling people up on the phone to make sure they were watching it. It's like, when you see a game like that, you're so much a fan ...

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

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.

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

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

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

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

-
When you have a half like that, nine times out of 10, you're going to have a good lead.
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
-
There's only one thing I still haven't done and that's win (the championship). That's the only thing I want now.

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.
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.
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
-
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.
