Every team starts out at the beginning of the year saying, 'We want to win a championship,' but you've got to have a goal of getting to the playoffs first.

Blake Griffin

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

Joe Flacco

I've been to playoffs before. That should be everybody's goal is the playoffs.

Enes Kanter

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

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

The fact that we're in the playoffs doesn't mean anything to us, to be honest with you. Hopefully, we can accomplish our goal of going into the playoffs on a winning note.

Michael Strahan

I just want to help, first of all, the Chicago Fire to grow, to change the mentality to a winning team, and to reach the playoffs. That's my goal. But also to change the game style into a team which is able to control every opponent.

Bastian Schweinsteiger

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.

Zaza Pachulia

It's a reality here. We're a team that at this time of the season, with teams trying to get to the playoffs, it's going to be difficult to win.

Nate McMillan

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

The goal every year is to win the Super Bowl, not just to get to the playoffs, not just to win a few games.

Calvin Johnson

The season is a beast within itself. It's not the quickest race; it's a marathon. In the playoffs - if you're fortunate enough to make the playoffs - that's more like a dash. You have to concentrate on one opponent. When they're done, you have to concentrate on another one.

Jerry West

That's what you need to win a Cup and go far in the playoffs, you need every guy to be accountable in all areas of the ice.

Brad Marchand

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.
