Tim Duncan Great Quotations

I don't even know how he got it off, honestly. I think he shot it with his left hand. I went after his right hand, thinking he was going to float it with the time going down like that, but somehow he got it up there and it stayed up there on the rim and went in. It was just a great shot, a great effort by those guys to turn a turnover into a fast-break that quickly and get it to the rim.

He was great tonight. He made all of the shots down the stretch and made some great moves. His play down the stretch was the difference in the game tonight.

He did a great job on the offensive glass, made some big baskets for them and showed some great touch right around the basket.

I think it's a great situation for everyone, especially myself. I felt good tonight. I felt like I was moving pretty well and not in a lot of pain, so it was good.

I thought we played well enough to win. When you penetrate and pump fake on shots like we did it moves the defense with you. Parker was great tonight like he has been all year.

Those guys are playing the best basketball. This will be a great test for us at this time of the season.

We have a lot of guys who are a little beat up and a little stressed out at this part of the season. It's great to have this break, let everybody get away and then come back refreshed.

We put ourselves in a great position, but we gave up two in a row at home. We still have the lead in the West, and in the division and we're going to try and hold onto that.

Everything's not clicking yet, but we're heading that way. It was a great learning experience today being able to fight back and staying with each other.

Beno has been playing great for us. With Nick out right now, Beno is getting a lot of minutes and he has really responded well.

We had a great season, a franchise record. It's all gone now.

I haven't been around him in so long, not for anything other than our paths just haven't crossed. It was great to have some time ... and talk about old times.

It's great to get (home-court) wrapped up. I'm feeling good right now -- feeling healthy.

They did a great job double-teaming me. I got in foul trouble, my shots weren't going down, and things just weren't working my way. I tried to be as aggressive as I could, but they were defending me very well. I finally got some shots to go down late in the game when it seemed like it didn't matter anymore.

He's such a fun-loving guy and a good guy. He's one of great guys in the basketball, period. I don't think you could find anybody that would say a bad word about him and you love to root for a guy like that.

It was great to have him back on the floor. It has been tough for him to not be out there. He is going to get back into it.

They hit some great shots. We did not have the game locked up, but we thought we had it in the bag. I went 1-for-6 (from the line) in the final (three) minutes and made some mental mistakes. But lesson learned, and it was a cheap one because we got the win.

It was a great defensive effort overall. We had a solid night defensively and that helped keep their score down. We are starting to get things worked out.

Tony was great tonight and as solid as he has been all season. The Hornets shot the ball better than we would have liked them to tonight, but overall this was a good win.

It's a great feeling. A great feeling, ... In years past we've lost six, seven, eight, nine guys in a year, and rebuilt. I think we've really got a core here that we're in love with, that obviously is a pretty decent core, and we're going to have it together for a couple years.

They're playing very well, probably the best basketball in the league right now. We're going to their house where they are even tougher and we haven't been that great on the road. So we're up for one heck of a challenge, and it will be a great time for it.
