Elton Brand Great Quotations

If we had led all the way and let them steal it at the end, it would have seemed like some of last year's woes, ... You don't want to make a big deal out of three games, but it is a great start.

If they want to double-team, that's OK because we've got guys who can score all over the place. Wilcox gave us a great spark off the bench, and that's what we look for him to do every night. We have a lot of confidence in him because of what he does in practice. And when he plays like this, it really helps us out a lot.

He hits big shot after big shot. He is fearless. He is a great addition and I love having him. Anytime we need a big shot, he is not afraid to take them. He hits most of them.

It is a great milestone for us to win 45 games. I am proud to be with the organization. It is important that we got this win. We had some tough games lately so we needed to get this win.

I thought he might be a little standoffish and not want to be here. He's a great guy, he's funny and he's got your back, 100 percent.

We need to win one more game to qualify but it is great for our mindset. It is definitely a statement.

Finishing sixth is a great thing. You want as much home court as possible.

We had a good plan against a great player. We did a good job against him.

It's just a great feeling. It's still kind of surreal. I might not appreciate it until we start the second round.

It's been great having that bench threat. We haven't had that the entire season, so to have all those guys coming off the bench - not only holding a lead but sometimes adding to a lead and playing defense - it's great for the starters.

It's disappointing, but we'll bounce back. I'm very optimistic. As a team, we didn't shoot well. Personally, I got great looks, but just didn't knock them down.

It was a great win. I tried to set a tone early and my teammates put me in a great position to score.

In the past, we might have folded, but we erased that 12-point lead and we're up three at halftime. It's a great, great feeling. It's much different than before.
