"A lot of you guys like to see the [Randy Moss]-type deal, the Randy ratio," [Aaron Brooks] said. "We all know he's the man. But this offence does not centre around Randy. This is an offence that will utilize every individual out there. Down to the offensive guards. I think as a unit we're all getting better, and that's what you want to see. We're all getting better, not individuals."

"If he wanted to retire, I wouldn't have held it against him. [Pat Riley]'s a great guy. He's done a lot for me. We've done a lot for each other. I'm glad to be on a team that helped him get another one, and maybe we can get even another one."

"If we can go into the Chase like this, we'll have a shot at the championship," he said. "The guys are operating at a championship level," [Matt Kenseth] said. "I was worried about going into the Chase and not running good. But this is what it's about, bringing your best piece and go there and try to win some races."
