Cuttino Mobley Quotations

I feel for him. I wish I could help him, but he'll be all right. It's just hard to play against him because we both know everything about the other's game.

Glen is the guy we look to for guidance. He's the guy we look to help us out in certain situations. Glen always says he's going to be there when it counts.

I was trying to work my way in, not trying to do too much crazy stuff,

I wasn't going to come to some place where we were going to lose, ... I knew we were going to be good. We got guys who can win, who have won. But talk to me at the All-Star break.

We can't worry about Phoenix. If they fold, they fold. We dug our hole, and now we got to get out of it. That's what were doing, trying to get out of it right now.

We needed this one. They are a scrappy team and you don't want to take them for granted. We had a 21-point lead but we blew that a little but we pulled it out.

We get caught up playing around and beating each other up. But it's all good. I just try and do what I do. This is a good team I'm on now.

Tracy's one of the best at scoring in bunches, so I tried to contest his shots and make him take tough shots. We just tried to wear him down a little bit, and we did a better job of that in the second half.

We've got veterans who know how to get out of those situations. Sometimes when you're on a losing streak, you start feeling sorry for yourself. But, hey, life goes on and games go on, and there're going to keep playing them while you're sulking. So you've got to let it go and win the next one.

Did we run out of gas? I don't know. They hit some big shots.

Elton hasn't just been good lately, he's been good the whole season. He's the reason I came here. He makes the job easy.

Even early in the season this was a huge gut check,

There's nothing for us to answer for. (Losing intentionally) has been misinterpreted. Everybody on this team gets paid to play. The younger guys got a chance tonight and they nearly pulled it off. There wasn't a lack of effort, the names were different.

Sam and I are the veterans when it comes to playoff experience. We're trying to come out strong, set the tone for the rest of the guys.

They put up 84 shots to our 70 shots, and you can't win like that. They got a little physical with us, and it showed. You're not going to get the looks you might normally get when you're playing Indiana.

They punched us in the mouth tonight, but we overcame our nerves, and we're starting to get it.

They fell in my lap. When I'm getting rebounds, I can push it up the floor.

You can't make mistakes on them and we made some mistakes. (The Pistons) were desperate. We didn't have Sam so we were missing 20 points. The rest of the guys came together and we did pretty well. It was definitely a good trip. We have to go home and take care of business now.

It was fun in Sacramento, man. The way they played basketball was great. It's a great place for a family, a great place when it comes to unselfish team basketball. Those guys really pass the ball, really work with each other.

It was a tough game, but we played defense in the end. Chris did his job with 16 and 11, and Elton did his job, plus more.

It was good to get a W. I'm really not surprised with our record. We're going for 50 (wins) and I think we can get it.

I never expect to lose. I know you have to lose sometimes. But you let two go that you should win, you can't do that.

I had 12 a whole bunch of times, 11 a whole bunch of times. Steve used to steal them from me.

In so many words, you can't really say too much to them. It gets to be too much talking and not enough understanding. It's like talking to a child. We'll see (Thursday) night with the Pepsi Center rockin', the loud crowd and the (thin) air. Everything is going to be insane.

I guess I won't be doing any photo shoots for a while. There's a lot of love between us, but sometimes funny things happen in a battle.

I just try to do the things that will help the team. We were able to control the tempo. It's good when you win by 15 or 20 points, we need more of that.

This is a huge gut check for this team, ... Tonight's game was an ugly win, but we still have to play them on Monday and they will be looking for payback.
