Chauncey Billups Guys Quotations

Milwaukee shoots a lot of jump shots and our big guys do a good job of getting the rebounds. We're able to make some long outlet passes and we have the guys who can get out fast. Then we're off to the races.

For whatever reason, we feel like we can just kind of coast to the finish line and not do what we've done all season, to be looked at as the best team. We're getting away a little bit from what we do. Guys are, unfortunately, looking too far ahead to the playoffs.

Guys are definitely feeling good right now. We made it here healthy; that was our main goal. ... We're feeling great right now. I think there's a little extra pep in everybody's step today.

He's playing with a lot more energy right now, as we expected him to. When he's aggressive like that, I never feel like we can lose -- ever. He's probably one of the most difficult guys in the league to guard when he's aggressive.

I think that for whatever reason we think that we can coast to the finish line, and not do what we have done all season. We are getting away from what we do, and guys are looking too far ahead to the playoffs. We have to do the things that we have always done. Teams aren't just going to lay down for us.

It feels great to get some rest. We worked hard for that and we're going to cherish that right now, even if that means losing a few games, you know what I'm saying? We're all trying to get rest and the guys that are out there are trying to stay healthy more than anything. I mean, so what? We did what we've had to do so far.

We're definitely going to see those guys down the road. They're one of the elite teams in the league, so at some point ... we're going to lock up.

That's the way we play. We got so many options, so many guys who can hurt you.

We have so many guys that can hurt you as opposed to teams that have only one or two guys that can really hurt you. You can adjust your defense to stop one or two guys. YOu can't do that when you play us. We have too many options.

We're healthy. A couple of our guys sat out, a couple of our young boys got an opportunity to play. They all played well, so we're fine.

We came out aggressive, trapping and running around, having fun, and guys were making shots. It was fun.

Even though (Brown) loves the rookies he has - because they play extremely hard and he loves anybody who plays hard and plays right - he is at the stage of his coaching career and life where he needs veteran players. Larry loves guys who have been in fights and wars and know what to do every time they're out on the court. That's why I think he'd love to get a guy like Kenyon Martin .

It was a little different, but I'm happy to see those guys getting some important minutes, playing down the stretch when it really counted. Those minutes are when you really grow. Any move you make could be the best or worst move.

We feel like we have a special group of guys in here. Any time we have a chance to do something special, to get into those (record) books, that gives people something to remember us by, you know? We want that, man. We want to be a group that people will remember around here for a long time.

That's how we beat people, with strength in numbers. That's the way we play. So many different options, so many guys that can hurt you.

This is a team that, right now, looks like we will be playing in the first round. They are a difficult team. They have guys that can get going. Of course they have Allen Iverson, who is probably the best scorer over the past 10 years of this league.

The bench was big, no doubt about it. All those guys played great tonight. We're going to need that from them in the playoffs.

Anytime you have the big guys we have -- we've got five or six shot-blockers, guys that can rebound -- you're going to have a good defense,

No matter who we're playing, we have too many options. We have so many guys that can hurt you as opposed to a team with just one or two guys. You can't adjust the defense on us. We have too many weapons.

I just put them on my back and took them to the fourth quarter, ... Then the other guys took over for me.

It was a good one. I was just feeling good. I was being aggressive, knowing I had a tough match-up with Steve Francis. It was just a good game. They guys were telling me to run the plays that we were running, and I just stayed aggressive.

This is my first time, so I don't know how I would have felt if I made it four years ago as opposed to now. But the road I traveled was much tougher than a lot of these guys to make it to this game. It's special to me either way. It's a special weekend.

They're probably one of the best shooting teams in the league. They usually hit a lot of those shots that they were missing. We try to take a couple things away. Take a couple guys out of their sweet spots. Still, they've got guys that can knock it down. So we haven't seen their best punch yet. But I don't think they've seen our best yet, either.
