We’re so good individually that you get caught up in it sometimes, and then you see why good teams with great, great individual talent can fall because everyone wants to win the game, everyone wants...

It’s hurting. Maybe we can get it to 80 per cent before the next game.

We just have to live with it. He was 28 feet away and he hit it with somebody in his face. There aren’t very many people who can hit that shot.

We have this job, most players, four years. If you’re lucky, you can squeeze out a 10-year career. After that, you have the rest of your life to do whatever you want. I’d rather devote...

Coach [Eddie] Jordan isn’t going to risk a player getting hurt to chase a record. I knew I wasn’t going to go back in.

Winning time is when the game is that much more important. You don’t just want to win. You have to do whatever it takes to win.

Richard’s just upset with me because I made the (NBA) All-Star Game, and he got a brown (bronze) medal in the Olympics,

We were a great rebounding team last year so teams are really making it a point to attack the boards on us, … As guards, we’re going to have to do a better job of...

I know what he would say. He’d say protect yourself. … Things have changed. Things are a lot more physical now then they ever were before.

He has something I don’t have. He has two rings. That’s what every player dreams of, and he has two of them.

We know that. That’s why we have to soak up all these home games while we can and then we just have to have a dog fight out on the road.

I don’t want to say that he has regrets. I don’t want to put that out there but I’ll just say that he misses here.

With that lineup, I’m supposed to be scoring. (But) I didn’t try to force anything. I really didn’t have to go out there and score — everybody was hitting shots, getting easy baskets and playing...

It was just one of those night where we used a lot of energy trying to get to this spot. You know, it is just one game, one game out of a seven-game series. We...

Eddie does a good job of not pounding us in practice and giving us days off where we can recover.

I’m on a mission. Somebody has to pay. Somebody is going to pay until I end my career.

Because I’ve got to get us going. We need to make a real push right now. We can’t depend on others losing and we can’t have a slump.

If you want to go to the NBA and you’re a guard, go to Lute Olson.

We’re confident. Our goal was to get one of these two (games at The Q). We got one, and they come to (our place). We’ve got to (defend) our home court. It’s going to be...

In this league, it’s about growing up, … That’s one of the areas I’ve got to grow up in. . . . Everyone knows I can score. Everyone knows I can do all these great...

Only when Michael Jordan did it.

We did our job, but when a team is doing badly it’s usually because they are breaking down offensively. We were just there at the right time.

think they made the game.

It was one of those nights. I knew an Eastern Conference coach was coming in here, so my mind was set already.

It’s that time of the season when you need every game. You have to go out there and bang it out.

The people affected by Hurricane Katrina really need to be taken care of. It’s rough. Everyone wants to help, but it’s not going to be easy. We’ve got to realize that these people lost everything...

We absolutely miss him. He is crucial to what we do. When you get used to having someone like that and then all of a sudden you don’t have him, it means you have to...

We dug down deep. We got stops early in the fourth quarter and from there they were just fighting to get back.

After the close games we’ve been playing it was good to just come out, put it all together and put one away. I was happy that we didn’t let up when we got the lead....

There’s always that one team that dominates another team. For us to beat them, we have to play a perfect game.

It’s good because he is a defensive player and he really thinks he can stop me. We started talking trash when they played here last game, so I know that’s going to continue when we...

Maybe we aren’t as good as we think we are. We keep thinking we’re a playoff team, but we are getting beat by teams we’re supposed to beat. We need to come out and play...

It’s hard to beat a guy who’s 9-for-9 from the 3-point line. He willed his team to victory.

We are not playing tomorrow so I’ll have a chance to rest it and hopefully I can get back to about 80 percent before we play Philadelphia. Until we seal up that five spot (in...

I already had it in my mind. It’s time for elimination. I’m the terminator. I’m in terminate mode, and I’m trying not to get out of it.

If the Heat loses three and somebody wins three, they’re right in second. But for right now (Detroit and Miami are) 1-2 and everybody is just chasing.

It’s a great feeling to start off with your first win. I don’t think, since I’ve been here, we’ve done that on the West Coast trip. It’s a great feeling because you go into the...

It went in and it came out. You are going to miss more than you make in your career. I missed that one but I am going to have more opportunities. Then there will be...

They’re taking charges, deflecting. They play good team defense, and that’s what were trying to get to.

We’ve got to realize that these people lost everything they had. For some people they didn’t have food or water for days. I’m just trying to do my part and help out as much as...

Chucky hit those four 3s in a row to get us back in the game, … We would never have been in the game if Chucky didn’t step up.

Well, you didn’t make it. There were people here before you. We’re just passing through like everybody else. You might as well have fun with everyone you can – media, fans – and they’ll love...

It was a hard game and they were great. You can’t take that away from them.

Anderson ended up beating us. He found his rhythm tonight.

You see the pictures … But you didn’t get to know who they were.

You know, it happens. I’m playing like an All Star, and I know I’m one of the elite players, so if I don’t get picked, in my mind I’m still one of them. If I...

I’m an All-Star in my mind, and I’m an All-Star to this city, my peers and this organization. So that’s all that matters to me.

You can see what they’ve been through by the look on their faces. I’m just trying to cheer them up. I can’t imagine what they’re going through, and what they’ve seen, but I know what...

We just need to win one in order to get the monkey off our back against them. They just have our number right now. But we’re gonna keep fighting them.

To fill up the gym. It’s playoff time. I’ve got to get ready. I’ve just got to be around it, be around the gym and get that in me.
