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

	When you have a half like that, nine times out of 10, you're going to have a good lead.   
- 
	
	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.   
- 
	
	When you're not writing, you're not doing anything else either because everything you do goes into the writing.

	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.   
- 
	
	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 Leon told Mo (76ers coach Maurice Cheeks) that they weren't inviting me.   
- 
	
	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.   
- 
	
	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.

	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.

	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.   
- 
	
	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 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.   
- 
	
	There's only one thing I still haven't done and that's win (the championship). That's the only thing I want now.   
- 
	
	Getting those two guys on the same page will be a major factor on us having a good season,'' Cheeks said.   
- 
	
	You just have to want to do it. I don't know how but I know that it has to be done. I know if we get frustrated and start turning on each other that it is only going to get worse.   
- 
	
	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.   
- 
	
	I wasn't a bad guy. I just wanted God to give me a second chance.   
- 
	
	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.   
- 
	
	We just believed in each other, got defensive stops when we needed them and executed our offense. We were able to make something happen.   
- 
	
	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.   
- 
	
	People think that I'm some tough renegade, black-hearted being, evil, but that ain't me.
