Chris Bosh Game Quotations

You don't have to appreciate me - I hope you underestimate me. That way, when I have a good game, it'll hit you even harder.

It's a luxury to play. I get to play basketball for a living. I'm a lucky guy and I'm thankful for everything I have and what I get to do. I realize how many people would give their left foot to just play one game in the NBA. This is the NBA!

I hate to lose. When I was a kid, I used to cry every time I lost a game, up until, like, the 8th grade. I used to go ballistic.

I've modeled my game after Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan.

I know how the game is played, and I'm always working on it.

I want to go get a stop on defense so James can do it again. It was a big spurt for him. That made then get out of their game plan and play him closer. But when he does that, we want to make sure we capitalize and get timely stops. And that's what got us right back in the game.

When you're not in the game, you can watch. Certain players have mannerisms, and they do the same things repetitiously.

Yeah, that was my best scoreless game ever.

If you don't see anything wrong with your game, you need to wake up.

Coach ( Sam Mitchell ) told us at the half that they (Charlotte) seem to want the game more than us, and we came out in the second half with more intensity.

I think coach knows I can make plays. He wanted to get me over the hump with plays like that because we play of lot of games where we're in that situation.

It's just playing one game at a time, that's how I take it. I play as hard as I can for however many minutes that I play .... It's my job, I love playing basketball, I love the NBA. I just look forward to playing every day, and I'm sure it doesn't take much for me to get up before the game.

We didn't come out with any energy. We know we're not good enough to let the game come to us. We have to come with high energy, play hard team basketball and do everything the right way. Coming into the season, we all knew we didn't have too much room for error.

Honestly, it's bothersome. But we have a game (tonight) and a chance to prove to ourselves that we can play harder.

Some nights are like that, especially on the drive and kick. They sucked us in and knocked down threes. It's not too many nights in the league on the road where you have shooting games like that. So you have to tip your hat off to them for all of those threes.
