Zydrunas Ilgauskas Team Quotations

I got him first with the elbow, but mine was unintentional. Of course I was not happy, but you can't afford to get suspended for something like that. I'm trying to make plays and my team needs me.

From a basketball standpoint, this team is going up. And I wanted to be a part of it.

I think it's going to be a little different for him because he's going to play the same team so many times. But we're going to see an even better side of him because he's going to be able to adjust.

We just came out flat against a good team and when you do that on the road, you pay for it. We just got down by too many points.

This team went through a lot of ups and downs, injuries to Larry (Hughes) , losing streaks. People doubted us, expected us to falter.

I've gone through a lot in the last eight years. All the work to put my body in shape to play in the NBA paid off. I was thinking about that when we made the playoffs, but this is hopefully just the first step. This team is good enough to win in the playoffs, too.
