I went to Golden State and helped them get to the playoffs my first year there, and they haven't been to the playoffs in 13 years. I played in Charlotte... and I got them to the playoffs. So, every team I go to, I make them better.

Stephen Jackson

I think you should have a mindset of getting to the playoffs, because once you get in the playoffs, it is kind of a crapshoot.

Orel Hershiser

You get a taste of playing in the playoffs and what that's like, and it's a completely different world. You get a taste in those meaningful games. You get that taste, and you can't get it out. You want more.

Alex Smith

Making the playoffs three consecutive seasons is a great accomplishment.

Pau Gasol

The first thought is always about making the playoffs. That's the tough part. And once you get there, only then you can allow yourself to start thinking how you are going to play in the playoffs against other teams. And a lot is left to chance then. There's an element of luck as well: sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you do not.

Alexander Ovechkin

The most important thing is win enough games to get into the playoffs. Then, once you get into the playoffs, win.

Joe Flacco

In playoffs, it's so emotional and the tension's really high and guys are laying everything on the line. And when you do that, things get chippy and guys are playing aggressively, and I think it just comes out in the playoffs a little more. When you know what's on the line and what you're expected to do, it just comes out.

Brad Marchand

It's the NHL playoffs, I'm 20 years old, I'm finding it out the hard way that playoffs aren't easy.

Carey Price

Well, of course you question it, especially when you get to this point. I always look at it would I rather not make the playoffs or lose in The Finals? I don't know. I don't know. I've missed the playoffs twice. I lost in The Finals four times. I'm almost starting to be like I'd rather not even make the playoffs than to lose in The Finals. It would hurt a lot easier if I just didn't make the playoffs and I didn't have a shot at it.

LeBron James

It's the playoffs, man. If you don't get excited about the playoffs, you don't even deserve to be playing basketball.

Robert Horry

I know winning 20 is a special kind of thing, but I'd rather get into the playoffs, and be strong for the playoffs.

Tim Hudson

I would like to be in the playoffs. I would hope that there is some opportunity to go and play in the playoffs. Those are the best games, the most fun for sure, and you have a chance to win.

Jarome Iginla

When I came into this league, it was a Phoenix Suns team consistently going to the playoffs, and they had aspirations to go deep into the playoffs. People were always harping on sacrifice, what you have to give up for the success of the team.

Robin Lopez

I don't just want to make the playoffs or get to the first or second round. When I compete or make it to the playoffs, I expect to win every time.

Rajon Rondo

That's a moment I will never forget in my life, never ever. It was the first time I made the playoffs. After we lost to the Celtics, I told myself, I never want to play a season without making the playoffs, because it was so much fun.
