Richard Hamilton Last Quotations

Oh, yeah, you wanted this game, man. Coach Brown coached us the last two years, and he got a new team, so we definitely wanted to come out and make a statement.

I was surprised. They just lost (Game 7 to the Pistons) in the last couple of minutes and they had one of the best records in the NBA, then they switched everything up. I guess they felt they had to get better.

I feel good, especially the last couple of games. He's been putting the ball in my hands and allowing me to create and allowing me to make plays.

We've been waiting to get to the playoffs since the last game last season. So now to get an opportunity to play, we're all excited.

We knew last time (here) we had a 10-point lead (in the fourth) and D-Wade got hot and we didn't want that to happen again.

We've been looking forward to the playoffs since the end of last season.

All that other stuff, best record and all of that, doesn't mean anything. This is the time we've been waiting for since we lost the last game last year.
