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'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.
-
We just believed in each other, got defensive stops when we needed them and executed our offense. We were able to make something happen.
-
Personally I just want to win a championship.
-
I think Leon told Mo (76ers coach Maurice Cheeks) that they weren't inviting me.
-
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.

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.
-
You have to go through good times and bad times to get where you're trying to go.
-
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.
-
Getting those two guys on the same page will be a major factor on us having a good season,'' Cheeks said.
-
There's only one thing I still haven't done and that's win (the championship). That's the only thing I want now.
-
All of it is bad. We just struggled so badly offensively. We just couldn't put the ball in the basket. They did a great job with Tracy (McGrady) struggling. Sloppy, we just didn't play well, just didn't take care of the ball.
-
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.
-
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 couldn't stop them. We got beat in every aspect of the game.
-
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 think it would have been good if we could have played all pre-season games together. It will be something we'll have to deal with, something we'll have to fight through.
-
People think that I'm some tough renegade, black-hearted being, evil, but that ain't me.
-
I know I am healthy enough to go out there and not hurt my teammates.
-
We moved the ball around today. Everybody did a great job playing off each other.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

Practice? I mean, listen, we're talking about practice. Not a game. Not a game. Not a game. We're talking about practice. Not a game. Not the game. Not the game. We're talkin about practice, man. We're talkin about practice. We're taklin about practice, man. What are we talkin about? Practice. We're talkin about practice, man.
