Tyson Chandler Game Quotations

It definitely will be weird, considering it's in this arena where we came together, and this will be his first time playing here in a different uniform. It'll be weird, but once the game goes on, it'll be over.

It's awful. Every time we lose it's awful. When you lose one you felt like you should have won it makes it that much worse. These are opportunities we keep letting slip. These are the type of games that come back to haunt you.

I felt like we got some good things accomplished tonight. We just have to be able to finish the game and come away with the victory.

These are definitely the kind of games I thought about myself having. It feels good now and I'm only going to continue to do it.

I think the world is crumbling when I have a bad game.

I play knowing that there is somebody watching me out there in the crowd that has never had the opportunity to watch a game before and it might be the only chance they ever to see one, live in person. Michael Jordan once said that in an interview, and I really took it to heart; whenever I step on the floor, I play for that person.

I definitely knew he was who they were going to. The game dictates when you have to step up and make a big play. It was great team effort. That's what we need to win games.

We definitely talked about it. We know that we've been letting down games and leads in the third quarter. That was one of the emphases for us: We've got to come out and press the lead.

We just need to play our game and beat teams that beat up refs.

You could see him smiling and having fun. He was definitely more hyper today, more active ... His game is to push the ball up the court and set up guys for easy baskets. He was able to do that tonight.

Because on the West Coast, you face a lot of firepower. We're going to need all the guys on their defensive game every night.

The game dictates when you have to step up and make a big play. When you have the opportunity, it feels great to rise to the occasion.
