Rasheed Wallace Good Quotations

This wasn't any kind of statement -- you make statements in the playoffs. This was just playing a game against a very good team.

Sometimes we drop to the level of our opponents. We had that loss to Atlanta, knowing good and well we shouldn't have lost to them. Same with a few other losses this year. I tell you, if we play on our consistent high level, we'll be fine.

I know they're not coming together like Rick (Carlisle) wants them to, but it's going to be a good game (today). We'll be ready full-force again and have everybody back.

Chauncey hit some big shots. He did a good job. He hit some real big shots when we needed it.

They've had good records and good teams, but they haven't been able to go far in the playoffs -- that's sort of been the knock against them. Has that changed? You never can tell.

It's nothing like, 'We've really got to go stick it to these guys this time.' It's nothing like that. It's always a good game when we play them, whether it's at their spot or at our spot.

I told him, if they see us, you know, hey, Carolina will have to do their thing. That's been a pretty good rivalry over the last few years.

It's going to be a good one, because they always play hard in the Garden. We're looking forward to the challenge.

If it happens, it happens. It's monumental that four from one organization are here. That's good for the organization. If he does put all four of us out there together, it'll be cool.
