We shouldn't even get paid for this game. I'm not trying to take anything away from the Bobcats, they played a heck of a game, but we feel like we are at another level. I felt like we were the expansion team tonight. I'm thoroughly embarrassed.
Jermaine O'NealWe can't wait around for Superman to come in here and save the town, save the team. It's up to us to get it done.
Jermaine O'NealIf I can go to the U.S. Army and fight the war at 18 why can't you play basketball for 48 minutes?
Jermaine O'NealIt's a huge, huge pressure that so many people depend on you. The type of player I am and people look at me to come out and perform a certain way. Not being able to play on the biggest stage of the season, it's frustrating. One thing I wanted to do was not be frustrated about it and figure out what I can do to change and better myself on the court.
