A Quote by Robert Horry

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

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

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

Playing pretty big minutes in the playoffs and having career games in the playoffs is something you dream of as a kid but never really think will happen.

Joe Ingles

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 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

There's nothing less than that. I don't care about just going to the playoffs; I've been to the playoffs before.

Allen Iverson

Coming to Denver, that's all we talked about - championship and going to the championship. Playoffs was not even a problem. We knew that we were going to the playoffs every season.

Danilo Gallinari

Obviously, not playing a game before playoffs is something that happened, but especially going into the playoffs, you try to feel yourself out, where you're at, and then get right into game tempo and jump right in and play where you were before the injury.

Patrick Kane

Yeah, once you get a taste of the playoffs - I couldn't imagine not making it back to the playoffs. Give credit to LeBron and those guys who do it so many consecutive years.

D'Angelo Russell

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

I just want us to be playing our best basketball here when the playoffs start, and in the right mindset.

Nick Nurse

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

Joe Flacco

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

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.
