Allen Iverson Gonna Quotations

When you have a first half like that nine times out of 10 you're gonna have good lead. Guys are coming out with a sense of urgency the positive thing about that is that it's happening now.

We've got to come out the same way we come out in the second half, ... We've got to start the game with some sense of urgency. Once teams start hitting shots and get a read on us, it's gonna put our backs against the wall. That's something we need to be concerned about.

Saying something won't mean anything. We're gonna have to do it. I can't tell you anything that's gonna make you feel like we can turn it around. All I can do is believe in that and realize we're still alive. We still have a chance to make it into another season, and that's the most important part of all of it.

I?m just trying to do a little more talking to the guys and assuring them I?m with them regardless, mistakes or no mistakes. I feel like it?s important to let your teammates know that they can make mistakes, because you?re definitely gonna make them. We feel like we can make mistakes and live with them if they?re aggressive mistakes. I just talk to my squad as much as I can and just try to be there for them because that?s what they do for me.

It was important. We know they were a team that's been struggling all year and we just wanted to get this win tonight. Being that we got the one on their home court, we figured they were gonna try to come in and win one on ours and we did a good job of being focused and playing the game and finishing it out.

It makes it that much more important. I don't think it will have us play any harder because if you're not playing hard at this point with these games right here, then you're not gonna play hard anyway.
