Danny Granger Quotations

We still think (the series) is there to be won. We got one in Jersey earlier. We're still pretty confident.

Man, I've been getting beat up. I don't know what it is, but I've been taking shots from everybody.

That was one of the many plays he made. He hit a jumper at the top of the key (with 51 seconds to go) and Richard hit the big 3. But he made a great play. It happens.

This was a huge win. It helped us out in confidence and position wise.

The play wasn't designed for me. I thought we were going to get a five-second call. I just went and got the ball, but there wasn't much I could do with it. He (Wallace) knew we needed a three, so he knew I wasn't going to drive by him. There just wasn't much there.

We had a great start, but we didn't keep it up. We've got to be more consistent. ... I don't know exactly what the answer is.

We don't want to say we are afraid to play anybody. But the fact is, Detroit's a better team than New Jersey. We'll take New Jersey any day over Detroit.

A dunk gives people a lot of momentum. I'll take the foul any time. I wasn't trying to hurt anybody. I was just trying to make a play.

A couple of plays before (his jump shots) I passed up a shot in the lane and Stephen Jackson got on me and told me to shoot the ball. I was looking to shoot it then.

They're a really good team. They caused a lot of mismatch problems. It's just hard with another loss. It's not looking good. We're inconsistent right now.

It was a lot of fun to get the fans going a little bit. It's a little different when you're playing in front of fans, so it's good to get out there and do that again.

It's been my number all through my career, so it's important to me.

It's nice to be able to lose a game and not be upset about it..

I'm feeling more comfortable out there every night. Before, I wasn't looking to shoot. Now, I'm much more aggressive. I'm looking for the rebound. I'm looking for the good shot.

I'm definitely ready for that to happen, 'cause I always want to play more minutes. Ron was my mentor, he taught me a lot of things and I'd love to continue to play with him. But if a trade is going to happen, it gives me an opportunity.

I'm a rookie, but most of the times I'll be in there during crunch time, so I have to make sure I come through.

I think my leash is probably a little shorter. In the regular season, I could play through my mistakes.

He's so strong. He's got a strong body, strong legs. You've just got to try to keep the ball away from him as much as possible. He's an all-star, probably an MVP candidate this year. I did my best.
