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.

We’re not turning the ball over now and we’re playing solid defense.

We had to come out and get back on track. We knew they were going to be tough, no matter who they had. We had to come out and play it all the way to...

I’m not one of those fakers who is going to scream and flop and play all those little mind games trying to get a call, I’m just going to go and get my basket, …...

At Golden State, we were losing, and you could hear them. ‘We’ve got 16 more hours and 56 minutes, 32 seconds, 31 seconds [until the All-Star break.]’ No, no. We’ve got goals. That’s only for...

It’s not about the money. I want to be in their advertising, have a commercial, be in a print campaign. I’ll even pay for the commercial to be made.

It’s a big game. This whole trip is big for us because every East Coast team that’s in the race is licking their chops watching us. We need to go out and play hard. If...

It went in and came out. You’re going to miss more than you make in your career. I missed that one, but I’m going to have more opportunities to make them. … I thought it...

[Eastern Conference coaches] know how I feel about them right now. I told them after the All-Star break, ‘Eastern Conference, I’m coming for you.’ I just hope y’all have a good game plan I’m an...

[Lewis’ All-Star bonanza got us wondering if Arenas had a similar clause in his contract. After all, he too was a former second-round pick. But unlike Lewis, Arenas signed a contract with the Wizards in...

Everyone wants to play against the world champs and see where they stand as a team, … We get a glimpse of them early to see where we stand as a basketball club. We’re not...

He didn’t do anything,

We played well tonight. We just didn’t pull it off. But we’re not really concerned about what we’re doing on the road right now.

We’re getting banged up at the worst time.

You think you’re funny until you meet somebody like Tom Tolbert.

He did good, but we teased him in the second half when he got barbecued.

It’s a blessing. It’s an honor to be an All- Star and I’m really happy that Commissioner (David Stern) has chosen me. I’m excited and honored to be picked among the best players in the...

A lot of them told me that they had seen me on TV and that it was nice to see a familiar face. If that makes somebody feel good, then here I am. You can’t...

When you look around the league, you don’t see them getting blown out. They just play hard. They hang right there and they lose in the end because they don’t have the talent that everyone...

This is where you make your name. People follow what you did during the regular season, but what you do in the playoffs, it’s all magnified. The TV cameras are on you. The critics are...

Coach mentioned it to us but we knew this wasn’t going to be a blowout.

We turned it on at the right time. We played solid defense all the way through, and in the fourth quarter we gave that extra effort and got the win.

It was a loophole, and I slipped through it, didn’t I? (The new provision) sucks. We get screwed in the draft and go in the second round, and if we develop our game within the...

I’m not disappointed [to not be picked by fans or coaches]. I’m just happy I made it. It’s an honor.

If they terminate me, I won’t have a problem with that. I’ll pay them the money they owe me and the money they just gave me. Just let me out clean, don’t hold anything against...

We played stupid all night long.

I’m going to have more opportunities to make them and be on the other side of this. It was there, just a little off. It wasn’t our day.
