Zydrunas Ilgauskas Quotations

With us being really thin at small forward, it's not good. But this time of year, that's usually when it happens.

He scored 50-some in Toronto and we ended up losing. He obviously had a great night, but we couldn't get the crucial stops. They beat us to the loose balls or they got the offensive boards or we had offensive breakdowns.

That's back when I had a full head of hair.

Nothing he does surprises me anymore. He's just a terrific player. He's a tremendous luxury to have, knowing he can go out there any time and put up numbers like that.

I think he was frustrated because I caught him first with an elbow and then he hit me back. Mine wasn't intentional. His, I haven't seen the replay.

I've been shooting it well from the line this year. I was able to make them. Sometimes they go in and sometimes they don't. When they go in, it makes you look good.

I watched only the first half on TV. I've been with these guys since September. I was surprised when I found out what happened.

I've gone through a lot in the last eight years. All the work to put my body in shape to play in the NBA paid off. I was thinking about that when we made the playoffs, but this is hopefully just the first step. This team is good enough to win in the playoffs, too.

If I do get picked it would be a great honor, but other players are having really good seasons. I think they should take a lot more guys from Detroit than they usually do. Everybody knows Ben Wallace, but they should take at least two more from that team. If that happens, I won't mind getting the rest.

I'll keep growing it for the playoffs. The beard is part of the body and any contact should be a foul.
