Allen Iverson Quotes

«We're so many games in, we shouldn't be trying to find it. But that's what we're doing. That's what stage we're in right now. We're trying to get better defensively, and we got beat by [28], so, obviously, we're not getting better defensively.»
«Steve set the tone for them and everyone else just followed.»
