There's no hard feelings. We've got something great going on. We've got a real good head coach, who sets a great tone . . . got players who have one common goal. In the end, we're trying to get to Detroit. Don't let anybody fool you. That's why we're in this game. |
This is the truth, this is not virtual reality any more. This is straight up and down. It's a matter of fact. We're world champions. |
This year? Clean slate. Of course, my past is checkered. But we're dealing with the now. |
We basically lost it two or three times and basically won it two or three times. It was definitely a wild ride. |
We came into [the first Washington] game having two solid losses under our belts, and we kinda turned it around. We needed to do that. We were playing with our backs to the wall, and it was time for us to fight. |
We needed this, it's a rite of passage game, ... When you get through a game like this, it shows you what you're about and shows you where you're trying to go. ... At certain points, this is a journey. And it was a hell of a journey today. |
We wanted a situation where we were going to play them again in Philly, and we got that, ... All we have to do is bring our dancing shoes, put our best foot forward and let the chips fall where they may. |

We're going to be able to recover, be able to rest, allow our hunger to build, allow things to really revert back within ourselves. It's going to allow us to take it easy for a week. Then, when you get back to the game, you're refreshed. I think we'll be ready, be really pumped, and then be off to San Francisco and do our thing. |
We're just going to ride this ship, ride this wave. We accomplished one mission, we'll be setting out for many more. |
We've got a lot better players. We've got a lot of players who are doing big things. ... From Cadillac to myself to Chris stepping in there. |
We've got to be there. We're all Americans. |
We've won the tight games and before we didn't. Before we were receiving the brunt of the bad things that would happen. You see what happens at the end of the games now. At the tight part of the game we're stepping up and playing through it. |
You want to get off to a start and put yourself ahead of the curve right out of the gate. You want to do that. You definitely want to stack your chips. You want to stack your nuts for all the hard times to come ahead. |
