Dwyane Wade Great Quotations

When you're healthy, you can do so many great things.

We know we're a couple of shots and defensive plays away from being a great team.

Of course, from the team we had, I wasn't automatically thrilled, ... I was wondering what went wrong. But you think about the business of the N.B.A. and what we're here to do and you say, 'Jason will be great to run with, Jason will be a great point guard for us.' You move on from what you don't have.

We weren't as focused as we should have been, especially defensively because we know this is a great offensive team.

This team came out and beat us. Every time we made a run, they came back and made a run. We lost this one. ... We know that we're a couple of shots and a couple of defensive plays away from being a great team.

You have a quick first step, guys can't put their hands on you. I know we like it. But on the opposite end, the same thing. When you are guarding a great player, you can't touch.

We lost a great teammate. But I was also excited because the guys coming in can help us get to where we need to go, and that's to win a championship.

I've talked to him a couple of times. It has always been short, but it's always been good things. He always told me to keep playing the way I play and to continue to carry myself the way I carry myself. I heard through the grapevine that one of the players in the NBA he likes to watch is me. That's a great thing.

The one thing I love about my signature performance shoe is that it's great on the court, but it also looks good with a pair of jeans.

Another win Wednesday will make us feel great about the way we're playing.

They have the ball 100 percent of the time. They're doing a great job with their pick-and-rolls. It's very tough to guard them.

It's no secret that the Bulls have no one to guard him down low, so he can dominate the game that way. Also, he's in great shape. He's really in playoff mode and we want him to be. We want him to lead this team.

It's great to win against probably the hottest team in the NBA. The game was very competitive and no one was going to back down from anyone.

He took advantage of defensive mistakes, lapses in transition and got some easy buckets. Got to the foul line 23, 24 times, so he was very aggressive. He had a great game. ... I take the blame for it. I did a bad job on him.

He's the leader of our team right now. He's in great shape to do it. He's in the right mind state and that's the way we want to keep him.
