Quentin Richardson Quotations

I don't have any reason to believe that he won't be back. I haven't talked to anybody, but none of us has even brought up the possibility that he wouldn't be back.

I don't even really know what's going on and why we can't win. It's weird. It's like you feel like you make some progress but at the same time we don't get the results that we're really looking for. That's a tough thing.

I'm a proud defensive player. I'm not going to let anybody go crazy on me. I've got more pride than that, just having someone go off for a million points.

I can't even explain it, man. I've had a horrible season but I'm going to come out and play hard. You can tell I want to win, you can tell I care about the way we're losing and the whole situation. It just feels bad because you don't feel that the whole team feels that way.

From the sounds of it, I mean, you can't help but think some of those things. At the same time, you've got to wait. No one's ever traded until they're actually traded.

If we win, I don't care if I score negative points. If we win, I'm happy. I can't speak for everybody, but I feel better and it feels like we're going in more of a positive direction.

If (the Suns) used me as the scapegoat, that's fine. I don't point fingers. All I can do is get back in the gym and work hard. I'm just excited about being able to be the real Quentin Richardson and play the way I love to play.

We've got to 'man up,' each individual. We've got to stop somebody and help each other. Jamal had a tough job against Speedy, and we did a poor job of helping out.

He showed how good a player he is. He did the same things when he was with us. He got in a zone.

He?s going to have to put on some weight.

He definitely felt like it was a little unfair situation. And he voiced his opinion.

Just when I thought we couldn't get any worse or go any lower, we find another way to do it.

I said from Day 1, and I'll say it now: I know Coach is a great coach. He's proven it. So the only thing that means to me is that we're not doing it right. We can't be doing it right. Because he's won championships on every single level. So what does that make us? Imbeciles. That's all it can make us.

Over the summer, most of the guys here know what to expect. I think people can prepare mentally and get themselves in shape and get ready to come out and give what you're asked or not be here.

It definitely is a shock, but I also understand it's a business decision. It's something that comes along with being a NBA player. I've gotta roll with it.

That's the way I play. I never remember my last shot.

We put it on the board. The (stuff) stops here.

We're not saying we're going to win the Western Conference or anything like that. But we definitely feel like we can compete with anybody in the league.

It was ugly. It was a low-scoring, ugly game.

The thing is, we're concentrating on defense and stopping teams. That to me is making a big difference.

I've lost before, but it's the way we're losing now that hurts.

It was a low-scoring, ugly game. We both slowed the game down. It got ugly for a while.

For me, it is what it is. Either you're staying or you're going.

It's tough, but not 28 points tough. That's defeat. I know we had a lot of turnovers, we have a lot of young players. Other than that, we just have to compete and listen to what coach says.

I'm thrilled that I'm getting back to playing the way I play, downright dirty and nasty. When I get people down in the post, I'm going to abuse them and score.

I know this is what he would want me to do. He wanted me to be successful. He wouldn't want me to sit at home.

I'm just going into the whole situation with no ego. I'm going to be prepared to learn from Coach Brown, soak up as much as I can. My whole thing is whatever he needs from me to make us a better team, I'm going to do.

I played for the Clippers and we were bad, but I don't remember being around anything like this. I never lost games like this. It seems like we don't care.

I just felt it was getting more stiff as time went on.

He ain't gotta be flashy. That makes you appreciate him more. I think he's an old-fashioned throwback type. He just goes out there and gets it done.

He ain't gotta be flashy. That makes you appreciate him more.

You come to a new team, new system, it'll take a couple games, ... I'm not alarmed by anything. I'm just going to keep working hard and practicing hard and keep working at it. As a player, you get frustrated a little bit, but I know with time, everything will come into play, so I'm not that worried about it.
