Paul Pierce Games Quotations

The game isn't over till the clock says zero.

I think the most important thing I work on is just my mental approach to every day, my mental approach to the game. How to come in each and every day focused, doing what I want to do, I think that's just the biggest issue.

I probably visualize myself, the shots I'm going to get in the game, how I'm going to play defense, what we have to do to stop the other team's best player, what it's going to take out of me, the whole aspect of the game.

My favorite quarterback is Donovan McNabb. I think he's a complete quarterback. I love the way he can scramble and throw on the run. He can do it all. He can control a game.

When you give a team life, give a team confidence, anything can happen in a Game 7.

The rim is looking bigger and bigger every game.

I've never been on the cover of a game. When people go into the store and see me on the cover of a game, maybe that will entice them to buy it.

We made the necessary plays we needed down the stretch and got the big stops. We're starting to win these close games now.

We wanted to finish the year off right. We know we've been so close, and for us to get a win like this feels good - especially finishing 2005 off with a win. But we've won back-to-back games once this year, so I don't think we're going to get too high. I mean, we're still trying to build some consistency as a team. Hopefully, we got the monkey off our back.

I don't get caught in the match-ups, trying to outduel somebody. It's a team game.

Listening and talking to my teammates has helped me learn the NBA game. I know that talent can only take you so far.
