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

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.

I feel like everybody knows what is at stake. Everybody knows the importance of every game. We had a good meeting before the game in New York and I think it helped us out because it got us focusing on what we need to do as a basketball team.

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.

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.

I'm not pointing fingers at anybody, but as a group we're not playing hard enough to win basketball games. We don't seem hungry. We don't seem like we want to make it to the playoffs.

I would rather win than have good sportsmanship.

Getting those two guys on the same page will be a major factor on us having a good season,'' Cheeks said.

We understand that we're going to get the ball into Tim and play off him.
Allen Iverson

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.
Allen Iverson

We didn't take care of it. We just struggled handling the ball.
Allen Iverson
-
I just continue to play the way that made me successful in this league. Once I stop being aggressive on the basketball court, I'll be hurting my team more than helping them.
Allen Iverson
-
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.

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.
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.

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.
Allen Iverson
-
That was my fault. Basically it was just good defense and I made a bad play.
Allen Iverson
-
What I've learned late in my career is, regardless of whether you play well or not, if the team doesn't win, it's all for nothing.
Allen Iverson
-
We thought we had chances to get back into the game. We turned the ball over here and there, and they did what great teams do - they took advantage of it. When you are playing against a good team like (Detroit), you have to take advantage of the opportunities and you can't throw the ball away.
Allen Iverson
-
I was like a kid in a candy store. It felt like the first game of the season because I was excited to be back.
Allen Iverson
-
I don't think the loss will make us play any harder. If you aren't playing hard at this point, then you aren't going to be playing hard anyway.
Allen Iverson

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