Donyell Marshall Quotations

I know there were a lot of people who thought we would fold after the All-Star break, just like last year's team did. We didn't.

We all got three days rest and he didn't get any. We have to be smart how we use him in games and in practice.

We knew this was our last day to have fun. Now it gets serious.

We definitely have to (win in Washington). If you look at series standards, basketball standards, they did what they had to do by coming in here and stealing home-court advantage. We have to go to D.C. and take it back.

We gave them the confidence instead of coming out in the third quarter and sticking it to them.

It feels good, but it's just one game. I still need to get more consistency.

It feels good, but it's just one game. I still need to get it more consistent, and I think part of the problem is that I am probably the hardest on myself more than anybody.

It was a good moment for both of us. We have taken the brunt of (the criticism). We are sticking together and creating an 'us versus everyone else' (mentality).

We had fun tonight. We wanted to get to 50, and we had fun. This is our last chance to have fun. Now, it gets serious. It's the second season. It's time to go to work again.

The last couple of days I have thought about it because it did come down to these two teams. It was almost like choosing a college. I think I made the best choice for myself and my family.
