Michael Redd Hard Quotations

We played well to get the win. This was a weird game. It was a hard grind-it-out type of game. We knew Boston would be eager to come here and ride the momentum of how they won the other night. It was a big win for us.

I was encouraged by the wins against Atlanta and Denver. And even when we lost against Phoenix, I thought that we played as well as we could. (Against New York), for some reason we weren't focused like we need to. We're in the playoff hunt for our lives right now. We have to bring out hard hats Wednesday against a good Sacramento team. We've got to play (well) or we could be out of this.

I like our future. I like the potential. It's going to be great, ... I want to stay humble, continue to work hard at practice ... staying together in tough times and tonight was the test of tough times, and we passed the test tonight.

I never really got into a position to do anything. They always had an extra body around if I ever did get past Rip (Hamilton), which was hard to do in itself. They just surrounded me and I was never in a position to do anything. We've got to make adjustments to combat what they did against me because I saw (two or three) people every time. So we have to adjust that.

I know that good things will happen for me if I keep working hard.

I work hard and have a winning attitude.

It's a hard loss for us to take, man. Give them credit. Arroyo made a big play at the end of the game. We kept fighting back, but couldn't get nothing down the stretch in the last few seconds.

It's one thing to believe, and it's another thing to actually do it. I can believe all day. But we've got to actually do it. We've got to play hard and try to stop their fast-break points.

We knew we had to win this game. Chicago always plays us tough. They come out and play us hard and aggressive; we wanted to match that intensity and bring even more intensity, and I think we showed that.
