As (the game) got worse, we started getting stronger and stronger and Antoine made big plays for us, big shots for us. That's what he's capable of doing. He's very explosive.
Continuity is important, and James does certain things for us that allows (guard) Dwayne (Wade) and (center) Shaquille (O'Neal) to get into the game fast.
Don't make me say it, We've got to keep him on the court.
We feel like with this trade we traded a lot, but we got back three quality players, ... Antoine Walker is one of the very best, multi-faceted, versatile players in this game.
To be honest, at the end of a game like that, I would have liked it to end quietly, but the fans like it.
We are very fortunate to have been able to acquire a player of Gary Payton's stature, ... He is a proven veteran and will be a big addition to this team.

Vince Carter basically beat us. He was unbelievable not only as a shot-maker but also drawing fouls.
There's gotta be some dignity in the game.
There's not many who have a better or more talented (trio).
Yesterday was a blow. There's no doubt. But I'm ready to roll. We're ready to roll. It's not going to affect me.
We're a long ways away, and they'll be the first ones to admit it. There's a lot of good here that manifests itself throughout the season. Right now, it's spotty.
We played the game very well offensively. So much better than we did (in Friday's loss) against San Antonio.
When you're getting your (butt) kicked you take it and go on to Game 4 (Sunday). That's what it's all about. They were very good and they were kicking our (butts) and we began to look at the officials. Guys have a lot of pride, but to me, that's not what it's all about.
