Steve Francis Quotations

Don't get me wrong, I love Gil's game, but if I shot the ball every time down on offense, I'd be considered explosive as well. He's a great player so you have to get a hand in his face and you have to make him defend on the other end of the court. We made it difficult for him tonight.

It was tough. We made a lot of mental errors at the end of the game that kind of solidified the victory for them. On the other hand, we didn't get stops when we really needed it. I guess it was a lack of communication. I'm not really sure. It was at a crucial time in the game.

It was tough, man. I thought I had him. But I beat (him) to the spot. I envisioned myself going to the free throw line. Obviously they (the officials) didn't see it that way.

They made some good plays down the stretch and we turned the ball over twice and that really hurt us in crucial situations,

Everything is cool at my house. My daughter wasn't feeling well. As a man you have to do certain things and still be able to perform at your job.

I really didn't know too much about what was going on in the beginning. Now, as I got accustomed to it, hopefully we can continue to build.

I was trying to get to the basket, but I took what was there. It was a tough shot. I got enough arc, but it was a little strong.

Sometimes coach is calling stuff and I don't understand some of the things he's calling. I ask Phil Ford or Herb Williams just to give me some insight, so I think coming off the bench has really been helping me.

My opponent has only said that he would ask serious questions of the president. The time for questioning is over.

We are kind of feeling each other out.
