Jason Richardson Played Quotations

Neither team played defense. A lot of guys scored points and there was a lot of foul shooting and a lot of fouling. If we could have made a couple of stops, we would have won the game.

Guys really pulled together. Fish came in and stepped up huge. He pretty much played point guard the whole game.

We said (earlier in the week) we're playing our last five games, and we want to win. If we play the next three like we played the last two, we're going to win.

The team depends on me every night, (and) the coaches depend on me to come out and give something. That's what I'm learning as a player. ... I was really pleased with our defense. It was better than when we played them last week. Our defense hasn't been the problem, and we're finally putting the offense together.

There were times when we needed to make a stop, and they scored on us. That was the difference in the game. Overall we played a good game. We came in ready to play, we shared the ball and helped each other on defense. Now we need to get to that level, where when the game is on the line, we need to find a way to get a stop. We just missed shots.

It was a very important (game). They've got the eighth spot that we want. They came in here, played hard and they won the game.

It was one of those games. Neither team played defense tonight.... It was one of those games where guys were scoring. If we would have made a couple of stops, we would have won the game.

It was a desperation win. We really needed this win and we went out there and played like that.

He's an all-star and all-stars make big plays. We played some good defense.

He played good defense on me but that wasn't the reason I couldn't shoot. I'm not discrediting that he played good defense, but I had a bad shooting night.
