Richard Hamilton Trying Quotations

No, not at all. We didn't celebrate (anything) at all. We're just trying to get to where we want to get to, and that's the Finals.

I ditched everything. Wrist band, my rubber band, my mask. Just trying to get something going. Once I took my mask off, at least I hit a shot.

I am beat up. I am just trying to fight through it. Regardless of how I am shooting, I am still trying to help my team any way I can.

What me and him did was all in the heat of the game. When you're out there, you're trying to get the advantage over the guy you're going against. And that's me trying to get my advantage.

The only thing I know is he's supposed to coach his team. He don't need to be on the sideline running his mouth, trying to talk trash from the bench. He's not a player no more, he's a coach. His job is to coach his team, not to have little slick stuff to say from the bench.

It was the heat of the battle. You've got guys really trying to get an edge over the other guy. I didn't think I was going to get a ?T.' I know I fouled him, but I didn't think I deserved a technical.

It's fun to win scoring titles and things like that, but it's more fun to win. That's the only message I'm trying to send.

Not at all. We can only be concerned with ourselves. We are just trying to win every game. We aren't thinking about anybody else's record but our own. All you can do when you have a chance to play these teams is to beat them.

I'm beat up. I got a deep thigh bruise and a bad ankle. I'm just trying to fight through it. That's my whole goal. Regardless of how I'm shooting, if I can do any other thing to help my team win, if that's defend or whatever, just being out there, then I'll be out there.

I guess we have to get used to it. In the exhibition season, it seems like they (referees) are trying to make a statement.

I don't think I needed to be ejected and I don't know why I was. Maybe at that point (referee Dan Crawford) was just trying to clean up the game.
