Michael Redd Good Quotations

We needed a win bad. But we can't continue to play like this. . . . This has been four games in a row now. But I'm going to be positive. It was a good win for us. We needed it bad. I don't know how many points we scored in the fourth quarter (12) but we've got to finish fourth quarters off better. We'll take it. All day long. But we've got to play better against Chicago. Much better.

I don't know yet (how to thank everyone). I'll find a way. I don't know yet. They were good to me. I never forget that stuff. I'll talk to them, that I appreciate them.

We've got to move on now and deal where we're at. We're in the playoffs, that's a good thing. If we weren't, that would be a bad thing.

I was encouraged by the wins against Atlanta and Denver. And even when we lost against Phoenix, I thought that we played as well as we could. (Against New York), for some reason we weren't focused like we need to. We're in the playoff hunt for our lives right now. We have to bring out hard hats Wednesday against a good Sacramento team. We've got to play (well) or we could be out of this.

We've kind of fell off in the fourth quarter of the last three games, so it felt good to get a lead and hang on to it.

We've been hit by the injury bug quite often this year, and it's kind of slowed us down a little bit. We still have a good record (15-11). . . We just have to persevere through it. We have enough talent to still win.

It was (a key sequence). I had a good look; I missed it.

We did a good job (in the second half). This is a game we had to have.

I know. I know, and that's not good at all. Sometimes it seems like we play with more fire on the road than we do at home. We have to figure it out at home and get some wins and make this a home-court advantage.

It's about getting a good seed instead of just making the playoffs. We want to get the fifth seed and continue playing basketball and see how it turns out. The past two games we've been playing well, we just hope it continues.

I know that good things will happen for me if I keep working hard.
