Danny Green Quotations

We had nothing to lose. They were up 17. We felt we had to keep attacking. Keep playing or get blown out.

I can't hold too much contempt for him, because naturally he would be disappointed.

I don't think she should be here. I think she should play in the women's tournaments because they don't let the men play in women's tournaments. I just don't agree with that, but it's not my call. She qualified and she is going by the rules. She's here and she is a great player. I've got nothing against that.

He's come downstairs and I pivoted a little bit too much and he came around the back and he smashed me that hard on the spine that I have broken two vertebrae and I just felt my whole bottom go completely numb straight away.

He felt the first team wasn't playing well, that they were playing soft and scared. We went in to attack.

He's helping out our team a lot, cutting down on turnovers, playing good defense, getting good shots for us. We knew what Q was capable of. I just think at the beginning of the year, he didn't know how everybody played. He was feeling everybody out.

I thought about it a lot that night and probably the next day. But I've got to let it go. Coach (Roy Williams) said 'don't worry about it.' It wasn't your fault. Next time, I'll know.

Our chemistry is really good, and hopefully it carries over to next year. But I want to do a lot better. I'm not happy with what we did today. I think we should have gone a lot further.

It doesn't matter to us (that FSU beat Duke); a win is a win. We're not worried about what everybody else is doing. We're worried about what our team has to do. And what we want to do is win and have second placed locked in.

We don't feel pressure anymore. We just feel that we're in a situation where we can make some things happen. We can be a special team.

You know, I cannot or ever will make the world a better place to live. But I can help other people help make the world a better place to live.

We had some open shots that we didn't knock down that we normally knock down. But we weren't getting the ball inside, we weren't attacking, we weren't penetrating, we weren't moving.

We knew that we were one of the better teams out there. We believed that we were, and we just wanted to prove a point.

This tournament now is a kids tournament, ... It's about college-age players and how far they can boom it. But if the course gets firmer and faster, it will play into my hands. If a kid drives it 40 yards past me in the rough, that's not an advantage for him.

We've got a lot of guys contributing and that makes us a dangerous team. I think this proves we're capable of beating anybody.

There's no real pressure for us right now. We've played more than enough games - we just have to play our game and not be nervous.

I've been in a little funk lately, been out of rhythm, haven't been playing as well. I'm just trying to be aggressive and mentally strong, and we need it at this time of year. Everybody has to be aggressive. You can't be soft mentally. Nothing casual.

You can't let it wear you down. We've got to start coming up with rebounds when we need them, and we've got to reach down deep.

It's kind of disappointing. Florida State was a big win, but it doesn't mean anything after that if you come back and lose. We just want to keep moving on forward and winning. We're at home, and we shouldn't be losing games like this -- especially with the mistakes and mental lapses that we had.

It's been the story of the year ? how we've been led by seniors and how the freshmen have emerged from that leadership. We've just been stepping up into our own roles.

I know he respects me, he's fooling himself. I just hope he wears that banana hat in the ring.

I guess the downside to some of these movies is that they associate boxing with thugs and uneducated boneheads. I go about my business as a professional athlete. I train twice a day, six days a week, have my fights and the rest of the time I spend with my family and friends.

You could see that as the game went along, they started giving in a little bit.

The first week will be very, very light moderate training and that will leave me six weeks till the fight and then I can start going hammer and tongs from there.

You've got to feel things out; that's what we like to do. At first we might be a little shaky. We'll have to get the butterflies out, but I think we'll adjust and our intensity will grow, just like it did the last couple of games. I don't think the adjustment is going to be too hard for us. We made some harder adjustments during the season. I think we'll be all right.
