There were like three seconds before the shot-clock violation, and I thought he was gonna shoot and I'd have a chance to rebound the ball. But it surprised me. I tried to catch, but it was so fast it was tough.

More Andrei Kirilenko on Wikipedia.I think we are still playing part good and part bad, ... When we executed our offense, we got a lot of layups and when we didn't they just jumped on our backs and started firing from every part on the floor. They were killing us like in a shooting drill.
Memo did a great job in the overtime.
It's great to win and I think we did a pretty good job, especially in the second half. We were being so focused and we didn't let them score at all.
Nobody knows what's going to happen. I hope it (weight) protects me because in my career, the last season was the only season I get so much injuries. Before I don't have anything. Only an ankle sprain for a couple of games. It was tough to realize you can't play for so much time. Right now, I feel ready for the season.
Definitely Greg. He doesn't always say [much], but people listen to him.
We are a real inconsistent team and a performance like this makes us happy. We need to continue to do this kind of job.
He is one of the three best point guards in Europe, and without a doubt he will strengthen our team. He knows how to play, and we've had no problems understanding one another on or off the floor.
All we tried to do, ... was just play on him ? involve him in any pick-and-roll, and let him do what he wants to do.
