They are hungry and they needed to win desperately, so obviously they are going to bring energy and effort.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
You've heard me say it a million times just from me being in here so long. You can have all the talent in the world, but if you don't have any heart, you're going to struggle as a player, and if the team doesn't have the heart, then the team is going to struggle.
-
This would have been a bad one to lose, man, because we did put our effort on defense. We did play one of the best defensive games that we played.
-
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.

If I can't practice, I can't practice. It is as simple as that. I ain't about that at all. It's easy to sum it up if you're just talking about practice. We're sitting here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we're talking about practice. I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, but we're talking about practice. Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last, but we're talking about practice man. How silly is that?
-
There's only one thing I still haven't done and that's win (the championship). That's the only thing I want now.
-
Yeah, I came down wrong. But we've got a game tomorrow and we've got to come to play.
-
We have to get it done, that's no excuse.
-
Man, I'm 31 years old and a husband with four kids; I hope I'm no thug. I hear all those negative things and don't hear anything positive. I think that's all those people feel... that way that's all they hear about when you hear Allen Iverson did something negative or something.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I'm as disappointed as everybody else on my team. We wanted to go into the holidays with a win. We'll have to get this one out of our system and come back to work.
-
I am the MVP and I gotta worry about the trade talk.
-
Everything isn't starting out well, but you have to look at it like we can turn it around.
-
When you work hard, good things happen.
-
just because you put a guy in a tuxedo, it doesn't mean he's a good guy.
-
Personally I just want to win a championship.
-
These guys don't have all the physical ability but they are able to win basketball games because they play the right way.
-
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.
-
We just didn't finish the game off. We've been having that problem all season. Our problem is just stopping people and rebounding the basketball. Until we get that under control, we're going to continue to struggle through 2006 as well.
-
That was my fault. Basically it was just good defense and I made a bad play.
