This shows how deep we are as a team. We definitely want our guys healthy come playoff time, and sharp as well. I think we’re doing a great job of that.

We started the game so poorly. We subbed our first group out quickly trying to find some life, but I thought the first half defensively was just poor.

They were passing me the ball. I was doing the same thing I’m doing every single game.

Interested in front office position
Iverson says he is interested in working within the team’s front office.
I would like to be even in that war room. Even if they don’t go with my decision or whatever, just to have an opinion and putting out what I think and trusting the organization to do what’s right.
Their fight. Their fight. The fight in a guy. I’m the biggest [Russell] Westbrook fan I think there is. You know what I mean? Because he reminds me so much of myself as far as his heart and laying it on the line night in and night out. This is a guy who’s going to bring it every single night.
