ONE GAME TO RULE THEM ALL

Bill Plaschke, LA Times: "Game Seven. Game Heaven. Game Hell."

Kobe Bryant: "Life or death... But not that extreme."

Lamar Odom: "It's what we live with around here. It's what you expect. It's what makes us."

Andrew Bynum: “It’s the last game. I just got to go out and give the best effort.”

Phil Jackson: “I can’t imagine myself going through this again. It’s not only a lot of fun, but it’s a lot of stress and pain and anxiety, etc. But it’s something you get acclimated to. The job has to get done.”

Big Baby Davis: "I love it. This is what it's all about. It's what you guys are going to talk about for years. You guys are going to remember this moment. You're going to remember Thursday forever. I can't wait. I can't wait to step up on the floor and win here in L.A. We've got a Game 7. This is not faith. This is free will. We've got to go get it. You can't pray to God and say, 'Oh God, help me' and hope that we win. That's why I say you've got to go get it."

Ray Allen: ”That’s where we’re supposed to be. When it comes to Game 7, it's like this is what we were born to do. It's like if we were born, [and] our mothers said we would be in Game 7 of the NBA Finals some day and nobody would blink an eye because we would say that's where we're supposed to be.'”

Rajon Rondo: "It’s Lakers-Celtics, the biggest rivalry in NBA basketball – seven games.”

Paul Pierce: “I just love the pressure, truthfully, man. I love the fact that I get to play against the Lakers in a Game 7 on the road. I love the fact that if I don’t win multiple championships that I probably won’t be mentioned amongst the other guys in Celtic history that’s done it before. That type of stuff motivates me. That type of stuff, I think, helps me play at my best when I’m put to that type of test. To win another championship would be the best thing that can ever happen.’’’

Rasheed Wallace: “Other guys have been in Game 7s, but it’s that know-how. Every possession counts.’’

Kendrick Perkins (zerwał dwa więzadła, nie zagra dziś w nocy) "It's the last practice of the season, the last game of the season. My teammates, my coaches, I wanted to be around these guys, especially after a tough loss like last night."

Doc Rivers: "This is the ultimate player game. It's the game that all the things you've worked on all year, you have to do it and execute it and trust and play. You know, there's going to come a time maybe where a timeout is important and an adjustment may be important. Chuck Daly always said it's the make/miss game. It comes down to makes and misses. And on the misses, on their misses, make sure they don't get another opportunity to have a make, and that's what they come down to."

Chris Broussard, ESPN: "It's all so perfect. The historic franchises. The incomparable star power. The great competitiveness."

Magic Johnson: “The world stops on Thursday because it’s Game 7. You look so forward to it. You know everybody’s watching. You know every possession is a big possession. You know every shot is a big shot. You know every free throw is a big free throw. You know every rebound is a big rebound. You just look forward to being in a game like this because this is something that you talk about for the next 40, 50 years.”

Kevin McHale: “It’s going to come down to heart, soul and the team that wants it the most.”

Cedric Maxwell: “Your emotions are so high and so raw that it’s almost like cutting into a thousand-volt line. You hook yourself into it, you wet your fingers and you touch it.”

John Havlicek: "You’re going on adrenaline because you can’t wait to get started.’ You want to come out of this game saying you’ve done everything you possibly could have done.’ It’s black and white. There’s no gray here."

Bob Ryan, Boston Globe: "Game 7. The pinnacle, the ultimate. This will be a great night in the history of one of these teams. Whoever gets the job done will be wearing the hats and drinking the champagne."

Mike Breshanan, LA Times: "The losers are forgotten. History is kinder to the winners."

I Plaschke raz jeszcze: "Game Seven. Raise your voice. Hold your breath."
