Eddie House Quotations

What they're doing here (at Charlotte) is totally different than what we're doing. We're in first place. We're looking to try to win a championship.

I was struggling the last three games, but I think our defense got us going. When we were down by 14, I think everybody stepped up.

Basically, he had us on our back. He carried us ... he brought us home.

He came in hungry to play. He's wanted to get in for a long time, and it showed on the court.

Guys are trying to be a little more focused, and maybe that has taken away from the carefree attitude we had during the season.

It feels good to get the show on the road. Coming back to win the way we did showed a lot of character.

I think if I had just knocked the ball down, it would have been over.

Man, it'd probably take me 24 games to get that many rebounds.

I wasn't going to sit on the bench for a team that had zero chance of going to the playoffs.

We got our stuff together. We just started playing our game and tightened up our defense.

We hung in there and hit some shots. I got some looks and started knocking them down.

We should have a chip on our shoulders (tonight).

We didn't match their effort but being the team we are, we turned it up in the second half. This was a must-win because it was a game we should win. We've got to get tuned in from the beginning because we can't afford to do that when May comes around because they'll send you home packing.

Bernie called me to his office and told me they were making a trade for Kareem. At that point, I didn't want to sit on the bench for an expansion team. It ended up working out.

It was to the point that I was feeling good already, so it didn't matter. You guys have seen it before.

The shots were going down all around. All of us were filling it. It was beautiful basketball. That's the way we play.

Preseason or not, a win is a win. When you lose, it's like getting the air knocked out of you. Our goals are a lot higher than the Western Conference finals. There is not a guy on this team that doesn't believe we can do that.

It just got tougher for us to get baskets.

They broke it last year. We'll probably break it again next year with our style of play.

I'm just having a great time. I don't have to look over my shoulder after every missed shot.

I'm having fun playing basketball. It's fun coming to work.

I hope I can bring some sunshine to that dark cloud.

He's an All-Star and on any given night, he can do what he has done the last two games and we're never surprised to see what he does next.
