Gilbert Arenas

We have veteran guys, guys who have been through the battles and know what it takes to pull out close games like this, ... It's not like we're going to panic when we get in those situations. We're not a young team anymore.

We have more interchangeable parts than we did last year. We just have to get all of these interchangeable parts playing together and cooperating with each other. I've been out for a while. Caron missed a couple of games, Antonio missed some games as well as Jarvis, so we just have to get everyone back in the mix and we'll be fine.

For the last three or four games, that's what we've been doing. The scorers are going to get their touches, but just making that extra pass makes it easier for us.

We're stunned, too. We did a great job for a team that doesn't give up. We knew it was going to be a hard-fought game. We just tried to keep the pressure on. We were just hot tonight.

It is war. Thats what the playoffs is. Its war, and we just wanted to give them hell, and thats what we did.

He did good, but we teased him in the second half when he got barbecued.

Eddie does a good job of not pounding us in practice and giving us days off where we can recover.

We said we were going to keep him off his right hand and he went right all night. That's why he had a triple-double against us in his debut. If he's going to have a triple-double, they are going to win the game. We have to limit what he does to win this series.

It's an honor. Thank you, David Stern.

I'm not disappointed to not be picked by fans or coaches. I'm just happy I made it. It's an honor.

Coach Jordan isn't going to risk a player getting hurt chasing a record.

I didn't have any idea (the success would happen),

I thought coach was going to put me back in but he just didn't. Once I looked at the stat sheet in the fourth quarter, but we were up 25. Maybe if it was a close game and we were fighting for the game. But when you're up 25, he's not going to jeopardize a player.

I didn't have the best workout when I was there, but I really thought they were going to pick me.

What happens when you try to shoot and the ball goes up in the air It's a foul. But we still got the ball to a great shooter. I thought it was going in. We all thought it was going in.

While everyone's watching on TV, they need to be helping at the same time.

To fill up the gym. It's playoff time. I've got to get ready. I've just got to be around it, be around the gym and get that in me.

We're getting banged up at the worst time.

It's that time of the season when you need every game. You have to go out there and bang it out.

Winning time is when the game is that much more important. You don't just want to win. You have to do whatever it takes to win.

We're just shooting ourselves in the foot right now and we have to correct it. It's about time we start sewing up all our bad habits in the last 26 games.

The last time he stuck me, I scored 41 points when he was with the Wizards and I was with the Warriors, ... You print that. He's going to laugh about that one because I tease him about it all of the time.

I already had it in my mind. It's time for elimination. I'm the terminator. I'm in terminate mode, and I'm trying not to get out of it.

We did our job, but when a team is doing badly it's usually because they are breaking down offensively. We were just there at the right time.

First time on television, we won. It was a special moment for us.
