Robert Horry Quotations

When you burn a bridge sometimes -- it doesn't matter if it's a significant player on a team, especially a significant player like Kobe -- you might say let bygones be bygones, (but) there's always that underlying, 'Oh, you talked about me,' Me personally, I don't think it'll work out. But who knows? Crazier things have happened.

She's good. At first a lot of guys challenged her on calls, like 'Come on,' but she stood up for herself. That says a lot about her. Guys respect her. ... She doesn't back down from anybody.

More days off helps me out more now than in the past. Then I wanted to practice so I could keep everything working, mechanically and skills-wise. Now I really like the days off. But we needed to work on some things, especially our rebounding and boxing out. So it was good to get back to work.

Nothing against Tony, but there's other guys playing great. Tracy (McGrady) has to be there. It's in Houston. And then you got Kobe and Ray Allen. He's just got some stiff competition.

If they had about 20 more games in the season, you know they'd be in the playoffs. Shoot, if they started the season all over, they might end up with the No.2 seed (in the East).

He makes those all the time in practice, just throwing them up. He's a special individual.

I think it's time for me to remind some of these young guys that the league pays a bonus for best record. Money's still a nice motivation, you know.

Our bench production was strong tonight. We're going to need more from guys like Brent and myself as we progress through the playoffs. It's tough getting to 62 wins. There are a lot of good teams out there. These guys are hard-nosed and they want to go out there and play their best.

Records are always going to be broken; I'm sure someone wanted to see him catch Wilt.

We have some good moments and some bad moments, but it's not like we are playing bad. We missed Tony tonight but we played well tonight when we had to.

We know they've changed and their offense has a whole new look to it. With us, we're the same. They'll know all our plays. But we'll be out there looking at them and saying, what's that they're doing here? What's this play? Why are they doing that? That's a big challenge.

We like that. There's not one guy on this team who loves the spotlight. So it's fine. We like it that way just fine.

You have a lot of guys who came back after injuries like that, they're good but they're not as good as when they left.

You have to get into the right mind-set. It took me forever when I first started coming off the bench. You have to learn how to stay loose and stay warm. It was tough for me at first. You become used to it. Just like old hat after a while.

You play too many games of basketball, and you're going to have situations like that happen. You just have to go out and drop it and just play. There's always another day.

It really hurts when you get some questionable calls down the stretch.

I told some of the coaches at practice the other day that my biggest pet peeve is when, as soon as the other team goes small, it seems like you've got to change (the lineup). Give your big guys a chance first.

For a big man to throw it in, you know it's just your night. Personally, I hate to blow a team out because that fuels their fire. It's like somebody slapping you in your face, and you want to get 'em back.

It's a lot easier to get in a rhythm if you're playing minutes.

Oh, look at this right here, maybe I should put this one up and win this game!

It's very important. There are a lot of good teams in the West.

I hadn't seen the spin move in a long time, and he brought that out. He looked really good. I hope he can maintain it.

I had never seen him so quick before. He took off one time, and I was like, 'Gosh.' He's been carrying us for a long time down the stretch here, but he was amazing.

I came back with an I-don't-care attitude. If I had an open shot, I was taking it. I think that helped me.

How do you know that I'm out of control? Maybe I'm just awkward.

Pressure can burst a pipe, or pressure can make a diamond.
