The look on his face pretty much said everything. I had to get it up over him or he would have blocked it. I just lined it up with the rim.

A lot of the times, the ball came into my hands and everybody was watching. Memphis did a great job. When I would put the ball on the ground and come off the pick-and-roll, they...

We just couldn’t match their intensity in the second half.

I really got into a groove in the second half. Guys were getting the ball to me. It felt good to me. You know, it would have felt a lot better if we would have...

We really got off to a great start today. We’re starting to find something. We’re trying to find different combinations that work for us, especially off the bench.

You’ve got to pick your poison with them. We’re doubling Shaq and paying so much attention to Wade, we leave Antoine open. He was able to step up and knock down some shots.

We let the pressure get to us, and we can’t do that. We had a 10-point lead going into the fourth quarter. We let them pressure us, we let them drive the lanes and we...

Coach was telling me that he’s going to put me out there with those guys. Maybe I’m going to be the defensive stopper.

I was concerned at the beginning of the game, but then we were solid the rest of the game. Going home, you always want to get that last win. We got down early, bounced back...

He did a lot, not only for me, but for this team, for the young players. He did a phenomenal job.

We’re playing a team with they’re back up against the wall, desperate for a win, and we were able to pull it out.

The game isn’t over till the clock says zero.

It’s tough to swallow, especially when we thought we had them on the ropes. We just didn’t match their intensity the second half.

We overcame 27 turnovers despite everything that was going on and we found a way. That’s the key about it. This team is showing a lot of heart with the injuries we’ve got.

We’ve got something to look forward to next year.

I came out more aggressive in the second half, not settling for three-point shots and instead taking it to the basket, … That?s my style ?- being able to adjust during the game.

We got it going. I was feeling good. I think the guys were feeding off of what I was doing on offense.

It’s like a booster shot in the arm. They were very excited, and that’s a lot of respect for who we’re playing.

It just seems like they’re all individuals. It doesn’t seem like the team concept from everybody. It’s pretty shocking to me. I thought they’d probably be one of the top two teams in the Atlantic...

That’s what we’re trying to understand — how to put teams away. It’s a learning experience for us.

You have to pick your poison with them. We’re concentrating so much on Dwayne Wade and we’re doubling Shaq that you leave a guy like Antoine open for shots, and (he’s) a guy who can...

The rim is looking bigger and bigger every game.

Everybody knows it’s for the region championship but at the same time, you’ve got to go play the same game you’ve been playing all year. We’re excited about the opportunity and we look forward to...

Over the years, the pattern has shown they usually go with the guys who have better records, on the teams that are at the top of the conference. I think it’s more satisfying to make...

Both teams want to win and they want to do everything possible. You don’t think about the fatigue factor. You’re just trying to grind it out to get the win.

Carmelo seemed like he was going to have a career night. But we buckled down and got the stops we needed.

There’s a lot of pressure every time we lose a game. We don’t have a lot of room for error right now. I think we’ve got to get to 41 wins, and every loss is...

This is one of the handful of musicals that our audience — I know you’ll be shocked and surprised to hear — really loves.

I’m going to hang out on the perimeter when big Fortson’s in there.

I didn’t come to play today. I really struggled on the defensive end. You get a lead and you don’t defend, and you let the team shoot well and get back in the game, and...

This was a good win despite the circumstances. We showed a lot of heart. This was a really gutsy win for us and it says a lot about the team’s character.

We’re still in it. Our series with Chicago is big.

We just didn’t execute down the stretch. We didn’t make the plays and they did.

We’ll just have to see. Right now, I’m more concerned with my role on this team.

We wanted to finish the year off right. We know we’ve been so close, and for us to get a win like this feels good – especially finishing 2005 off with a win. But we’ve...

The last story with Siegfried was the funniest. It’s good that these guys are still able to do that [come in and talk to us] for the young players to see what the tradition is...

I just probably got a little anxious thinking about overtime instead of making free throws. I guess I’m human after all. I’m going to make some plays down the stretch and I’m not going to...

When you’re down by 19, it just puts too much pressure on your defense. We needed to make consecutive shots and just couldn’t sustain it.

I look beyond that at this point in my career. Maybe earlier in my career I would have thought about it more, but at this point it’s more about wins and losses.

I think he’s going to be an All-Star, if not this year then next year.

This was a much-needed one, … Regardless of how we got it. We haven’t played well the last five games.

When I saw the part about chains, hip-hop and throwback jerseys, I think that’s part of our culture, … The NBA is young black males.

Things are going to turn around, two heartbreaking games we had. Hopefully we can just learn from these types of games as the season goes along.

Those are things that tear teams apart. When you have a feud with your best player and he’s not responding, everybody else feels like they’re going to have to respond. It starts with your best...

With the team we’ve got, it’s a fine line. If you look at what Ricky did for us last year off the bench, he gave us that spark. Then, on the flip side, he’s probably...

It’s probably the best I’ve played throughout my career. I’m older, a lot wiser, more comfortable and I feel great. I’m in pretty good shape. It feels good.

We’re looking for certain guys to establish their roles. What are they going to be for this team? That’s what preseason is about, especially with the team we have. A lot of guys didn’t play...

I didn’t intend to get into a scoring duel. But I wanted to step up and take him at the end.

He’s a strong guy and obviously you have to foul him a little harder.

It’s one of the daily soap operas I check out. I think it’s good for the NBA. You need something like this to keep people into it.
