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. |

When I saw the rule that you can't wear chains (I thought it was), ... That's just part of our culture, when we wear the chains and the hip-hop gear and the throwback jerseys. |
When you got it going, you got it going. I just keep my focus down the stretch. That's when I want the ball. I'm just not afraid to fail. |
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. |
Whenever you get two all-stars on the court at the same time, you always have that sense of pride. We both have the utmost respect for one another and I think our competitive juices come out. What can I say? It was just a great night for both of us. |
With the game that close on your home court, we've got to pick up our defense. |
With the lineup we had out there I was looking to be aggressive early. I had some drives to lane and a couple of three's. I was just making sure we ran our stuff. |
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 our second-best scorer and probably our second-best player and maybe he should be starting. |
Yeah, I'm tired of us beating up on each other. We're ready to play. After getting beat up by Justin Reed every day, I'm ready to go against somebody else. See all these scratches I'm getting every day? Every day. |
You could tell this is a team that's ready to get the season over. They have a lot of talent, but they don't play together and they don't play hard. Mentally, those guys are ready for summer. They realize they have nothing to play for. Once you get a lead on them, they lose confidence. When you get a big lead, you feel you've got them. |
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 hurt you. That's what happens. |
