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 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.

They are similar, absolutely. We have leads and we give a lead up. It's been happening like this, the same way.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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 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.

When you win, everything is everything. But when you lose, it's all about Allen Iverson and Larry Brown. When we win, I know that I get the praise and Larry Brown gets the praise, but when we lose, it's on me and Larry Brown. That's something that I have to learn to accept and deal with.

I would rather win than have good sportsmanship.

These guys don't have all the physical ability but they are able to win basketball games because they play the right way.
Allen Iverson
-
We didn't take care of it. We just struggled handling the ball.

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.

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.

Mistakes happen. But after a while you've got to stop making them happen twice.

I think that with this team, we honestly worry about other things besides team concepts.
Allen Iverson

I don't really care if I play well or play bad, it's frustrating to lose the game. It doesn't do any good if we play well and lose basketball games. You still got a loss. It's like you didn't even go out there and do anything.
Allen Iverson
-
It felt like it was the first game of the season. It was just fun to be back out there and be in the environment and playing with my team and trying to help.
Allen Iverson
-
There's nothing less than that. I don't care about just going to the playoffs; I've been to the playoffs before.
Allen Iverson
-
That was my fault. Basically it was just good defense and I made a bad play.
Allen Iverson
-
We just needed it, period. Just for our sake, not as far as what everyone else is talking about. Just as competitors we just needed a game. We're struggling so badly right now. Then to lose this one would have been really bad, because we played really well defensively.

God chose Memphis as the place that I will continue my career.
