Dwyane Wade Team Quotations

I'm on a team with LeBron James and Chris Bosh, and they both dress well. It gets competitive. If I don't bring my A game, they're going to outshine me.

Of course, from the team we had, I wasn't automatically thrilled, ... I was wondering what went wrong. But you think about the business of the N.B.A. and what we're here to do and you say, 'Jason will be great to run with, Jason will be a great point guard for us.' You move on from what you don't have.

Last year we had a team that everybody had a role. If it wasn't me and Shaq scoring, everybody was spotting up, hitting the jumper. The main thing is it just takes time to learn each other, learn the system.

This was a good one for me as far as my consistency goes because that's a good team that doesn't beat itself. It was just a matter of pulling the trigger and making my shots.

Growing up, you always watched those games, you always wanted to be in those games. If you're playing on holidays, you're a good team and then people think highly of you, let me say that. So it's an accomplishment if you're playing on a holiday. If you're not, then you want to be.

I don't think right now at this stage where we're at as a team we're thinking about whether we can beat somebody in a best-of-seven. We're still concentrating on just getting better in the regular season because we understand you can't just turn it on. The good teams play well most of the year, especially late in the year. We're just trying to kick it in for the rest of the season now.

I apologized to the team for it. You don't want to ever do that. I try not to say anything to the refs, but once in a while, I do. It hurt my team because they ended up scoring in transition.

I always do it (watch film). Even when I have good games, I always try to watch and see the things I did good and the things I did bad and try to learn from a way a team is playing me and different things like that.

He's back. He's healthy. He's in better condition. He's hungry and wants the ball. He wants his team to be better.

I think us sitting out together, watching the Phoenix game, we really both couldn't wait to get back in and help our team. I think it showed that we missed being out there and we wanted to do whatever we could to help the team get a win.

I was more aware and aggressive in the second half. I didn't want to lose and wanted to do whatever I could to help the team win.

We came out early, hard from the start, ... We didn't want to give a team any confidence in our building. I think it all starts with me. So I tried to come out tonight and attack. Hopefully my guys followed and it did.

We came out of the locker room knowing we had let this team back in the game. We knew we had to get back our focus.

We were more aggressive in the second half. I just did not want us to lose. I do what I can to help my team win. I was just doing what I can to help my team win.

We hope there is an easier way of course, but when you're winning games like this and come back, it always builds character and it always gives you confidence knowing you can come back. At the same time, you don't want to get into a habit of spotting a team 15 points and saying 'alright, let's go now.

We had a long talk (Monday) about a lot of different things. I know for this team to go to the next level I have to make plays for others.

We don't get into that whose-team-it-is. We know that we need both of us to be on top of our games for this team to be as good as it's going to be because this team was built around us.

We ran plays to get him the ball, but also, us as a team have been waiting 18 games to get him the ball. So you don't have to worry about us not looking for him. We really want to get him back to his All-Star form.

This win is important for our confidence. Any game where we're down, we can always look back to this game and know that we did it against a good team and can pull it out.

When another team is at home and they've got that rhythm going at the end you never know what can happen.

Our goal is to be the best team in the NBA at the end of the year.

We're focusing on what we need to do. The only attention we're thinking about is giving each other the attention that we need as a team, and making sure that everyone in here knows how they important they are to our success.

The locker room has to be right. We've got to be patient to build this team.

We need to go up to Milwaukee and play a team that's playing very well... and try to come out with a win. It's not a perfect season, and this builds character for a team. I'm just happy it happened earlier in the season. Hopefully this will make us better.

I've only scratched the surface of where I want to be in my career, ... And I know one thing, I haven't won anything yet so there's a lot more I can do there. But I'm going to continue to get better and do what I can to help my team be the best it can possibly be.

We have enough on this team to win games. We just have to go out and do it.

No question, this is one of the best games we've played thus far this year, especially playing against a team that's been playing exceptionally well of late. We would like to see more of this. And I think we're getting there.

They're the best team in the NBA right now.

We have to come back tomorrow. We're a team that never quits, we always fight.

I just wish I could have done more to help my team out.

He's the leader of our team right now. He's in great shape to do it. He's in the right mind state and that's the way we want to keep him.

They just played with more energy than we did. Our team was not as focused on defense as it should be. In the first two games we sent them into our big guys. Today, with Shaq in foul trouble, it was a different story.

It's great to win against probably the hottest team in the NBA. The game was very competitive and no one was going to back down from anyone.

The main thing is to close games out when we have them. You don't want to give a team like the Bulls that are going to continue to fight confidence, especially at home at the end of games like we did the last two.

The triple-double is nice and all. But I wish I could have done more to help my team win.

This team came out and beat us. Every time we made a run, they came back and made a run. We lost this one. ... We know that we're a couple of shots and a couple of defensive plays away from being a great team.

It's good to go right into the All-Star break and relax a little bit and not be worried about where your team is.

They really wanted it tonight and it showed. I don't think our team was as focused as we should have been, especially on the defensive end of the floor.
