"I've been in pain all season. I look forward to this season being over. "But one thing about me: I don't ever talk bad about my teammates publicly. And what I say privately is nobody's business. So I kind of resent that article. I want the people of Houston to know that that was a total . . . article. "I'm going to do my best at all times when I'm on the court. I have honor and respect for the game. I've been in pain all season. But I will never quit on this team or on the game.

Always wanting to learn." -Cuttino Mobley “I've stopped trying to figure this team out. I just think when we are down and out, this team comes together. We gave an unbelievable effort. I don't care if we don't have the most talented team but there's not a team with more heart in this entire league. We've shown it again and again. I'm just really proud of the effort we gave tonight.”-Shane Battier "We gonna take some salt out of Salt Lake this year."-Ron Artest "I can't put it into words. Playing with a guy, living with a guy, just knowing that every day when I wake up that's something I can count on, that I'm going to be in practice or in a game with Cuttino. Him not being here is going to be tough for me. I don't know what I'm going to wake up for."-Francis I can't really find the McGrady Quote saying barkley was an expert on donuts.
