It’s just like last year. We’ve been down this road before with our backs against the wall, and we’ve fought through it. We’re in a predicament where we’ve actually got to fight now. We can’t...

He called me and said everything was misconstrued, and I accepted it.

We didn’t want to drop three in a row before we have to face a tough Charlotte team. They always play us tough. It’s going to be a great back-to-back series against them.

There’s still motivation there. I’ve still got things to prove. I’m going to always have something to prove in this league. I’m one of those players who’s just got to keep fighting, and I’m not...

We said ‘what’s up’ to each other. It’s all good.

I used to be one bounce and shoot. My percentage has actually gone up. I used to be in the 70s and now I’m in the 80s.

I’m not as nervous as I was. The first time you do anything, you get butterflies. Your body feels, I don’t know, kind of strange.

Brendan is coming out and playing hard, blocking shots, getting rebounds. He’s actually fighting in there.

I wanted to go out there and get my wind, so I’m glad Eddie left me out there in overtime. Even though it’s only the preseason, you still want to get the win.

I just don’t like the name ‘captain.’ Ever since I was little. I guess I’m a doer. I just do me. I don’t like to tell anybody else what to do.

Some people say all five of them should have gotten in. This is All-Stars, not All-Star teams.

We tried to pressure the ball, take him a little out of his game, and see if things might happen. It’s a real good win for us.

It’s a tight race and we have to keep winning. We have to play consistent and any series we get into we are going to give any team a good run for their money.

I changed my shoes, my shorts, my shirt, my tights, everything. That first uniform was bad luck for me.

[Washington guard Gilbert Arenas spent nearly $20,000 on clothes and toiletries, then delivered them to the D.C. Armory for about 400 former New Orleans residents who are due to arrive by bus seeking shelter from...

The rook did (well). He came out and was confident. His shot was good; he got to the lane and did what he does in practice. (Jordan) let him play through mistakes early (in the...

Talent speaks for itself. But I’m going to try to be the best I can. If I make the All-Star team this year, I make it. If I don’t, I don’t. … But I am...

Philadelphia has a special player in Allen Iverson. We have to stop him and put our focus on him while trying to contain everyone else.

We can’t look at it like we are however many games ahead, we’ve been down that path before. We hold our own destiny from here on out.

They’re going to make me play D this year,

When you turn on the tube you see him hitting six 3s in a game, so you know he can shoot the ball. And this was just one of those nights when he caught fire.

We did a great job tonight. It was a great team effort. We have been improving defensively, and it’s been showing.

They are better than what they are showing now.

We were right there, but then I played [poorly]. So we’ve got some payback to do.

We said we were going to keep him off his right hand and he went right all night. That’s why he had a triple-double against us in his debut. If he’s going to have a...

This is how we were playing at the beginning of the season when we were holding teams to 85 points. If we can keep playing like this, we’ll be pretty good.

When I first signed my deal, they said if I made the All-Star Game in the first three years, we could rip up this contract and sign a new one. Well, I made it last...

They are hometown heroes. I know they are going to be excited about coming home, but it’s not about us against Steve Blake and Juan Dixon. We are trying to get the win and get...

What happened to him, something like that is always going to haunt him. He can get some of it back, but it’s not going to be where he used to be. They’re going to make...

I had one of those in Orlando when I missed eight straight. It’s harder at home.

I thought coach was going to put me back in but he just didn’t. Once I looked at the stat sheet in the fourth quarter, but we were up 25. Maybe if it was a...

I’d been setting up my team all night, … I’m going to win the game. That’s what I do. . . . They didn’t say it was going to be easy.

[Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas lent a helping hand Sunday afternoon by delivering $18,000 worth of essential toiletries and clothing to the DC Armory, which will serve as a shelter for evacuated refugees.] The people affected...

For the last three or four games, that’s what we’ve been doing. The scorers are going to get their touches, but just making that extra pass makes it easier for us.

you can’t be stopped and you don’t think you can be stopped. That’s how I felt tonight.

We’ve been losing it in the second half and the fourth quarter lately. We just need to find a way to patch things up.

Everyone is trying to dodge certain teams. No one wants to play a Detroit or a Miami in the first round because they want to get to the second round.

Those players, they have a different way of playing. If they’re looking at you and you’re not with them, they think you’re a failure. So I told Kwame he has to go in and use...

I was the one who was helping him out. But I guess he heard from somebody that I told Coach not to play him in Game 3. It wasn’t like that.

It got weird toward the end on this one, but it was our third win in a row.

He (Davis) bailed me out a little bit. Because then I’d have had to try and create and finish over a big man, which I probably would have done.

I’m at a point in my career where no one can stop me. It’s going to take more than one guy to stop me. They better have a back line.

We’re not in yet. We are still fighting to get in, every night.

We know we played like some trash out there. And now we know we need to play a lot better than we did. We need to put the pressure on them. I think we just...

We have five winnable games. They’re not going to be easy. We’ve got to go out there and play. January will tell what we’re about, what we’re made of. We just need to do some...

First time on television, we won. It was a special moment for us.

We’re stunned, too. We did a great job for a team that doesn’t give up. We knew it was going to be a hard-fought game. We just tried to keep the pressure on. We were...

I just have a different way of approaching things. I’m a little offbeat.

Four, five, six, seven seed, who knows who’s going to play each other? It doesn’t matter who we play, we’re not worried about that right now. We’re just trying to come together as a group....

What we wanted to do was get that losing streak snapped. We’ve got a mission: we’re trying to make the big dance. It’s going to be hard because (it seems) we’re one game away from...
