Rasual Butler Trying Quotations

It showed a lot of resilience, we showed toughness tonight. We showed a lot of character. Both our ball handlers were out tonight. ... I think it showed we have a lot of character on this team. We're trying to make a playoff push.

It's a new system for me, and I'm trying to go out there and make plays, ... Some days, I come in early to watch game tapes or talk to guys like P.J. Brown, Nachbar and David West, so they can give me some pointers about the offense. Coach Scott makes it easy for you because he lets you play your game. I'm trying to pay attention to everything.

I'm going out and trying to play the way I've been taught to play basketball, take good shots, try to play solid defense, rebound and just try to play the right way, that's all I'm really trying to do.

I'm just playing basketball. I've been blessed right now to step into a role with ( Desmond Mason ) being out and the coaching staff having great confidence in me to fill that role until he returns to this team. I'm just trying to take full advantage of it.
