I think if Yao Ming was on my team, we'd probably have a 100 percent chance of winning an NBA championship.
We know that team was 0-6 and just for those guys to come in here and get a win would have been devastating to us. Our whole thing was to not let them get their first win on us in our house.
I would rather win than have good sportsmanship.
I've been in Philadelphia 10 years, man. I knew it was going to be a challenge, mentally. I always thought life would come to an end if I ever left Philadelphia. And I feel like a newborn. Being in Denver it's just a better situation for me. And I'm just happy that I feel like I got an opportunity where I can win basketball games here.
Personally I just want to win a championship.
I don't want to just go to the playoffs, I don't want to go to the playoffs and win the first round, second round, and not win the whole thing because it's bittersweet.
We're going to need team efforts, we're going to need each other down the stretch. With 29 games to go, we've got to win more than half of those to give us a better seed in the playoffs. We don't want to settle for the eighth spot. We want to try and get as high as we can.
We're just happy, ... We wanted to win this game so bad. I've got to take my hat off to my teammates. They played big. They really picked me up tonight.
We score with the best of them. If we concentrate on defense like we do on offense, then we'll win a lot more ballgames.
We had a real good meeting before the game in New York and I think it helped us out be-cause it got us focusing on what we need to do as a basketball team. I look at the stats and see that they still shot 50 percent and they almost scored 100 points and that's not something we want to give up. That's something we've got to look at as negative even though we got a win and try to improve on that.
We just needed win - period. We're just struggling so badly right now. Then to lose this would have been bad because we played really well defensively.
There's only one thing I still haven't done and that's win (the championship). That's the only thing I want now.
Every time we have an All-Star game, he has a chance to get it. He'll win more, he'll win a lot more awards.
This is what you want. You want the big contract, and you want the people to show how much they want you. That's what Billy did today with those guys. He accepted them. It's important, because have some chemistry with each other. Sam and Kyle, they're starters on the team. I like the look of our team, and I like the direction we're heading. I'm just looking forward to trying to win a championship with them.
