ABOUT THE HOUSTON ROCKETS
  • "It won't happen. That's the way I look at it. I'm sure there are people who will come up with some kind of scenario where it could happen. But it's not going to happen." — Suns forward A.C. Green after being asked if the Suns could blow a 3-1 lead
  • "I'm sick of hearing them talking about how well they're going to play with their back against the wall. They're always down in the series, and that's all they ever say. I don't think any team in the world can beat us three straight games when two of them are in Phoenix."
  • —Suns forward Charles Barkley after a game 2 blowout of the Rockets
  • "The heart of a champion doesn't die easily. In fact, it doesn't die at all. You've got to find a way to snuff it out."
  • —Suns guard Kevin Johnson when asked if he thought the Rockets were done
