"When you've got three scorers, guys that can potentially go for 20 points, like [Antawn] Jamison, [Larry] Hughes and [Gilbert] Arenas, I wouldn't want to be playing these guys. If they can all get hot together, they can beat anybody in the league. This is a dangerous team. People [are] not going to want to tangle with them in a seven-game series."
"No, they do it in so many ways," Johnson said. "You don't get to see that combination of athletes, big, strong, fast and can go inside and outside. Normally, somebody can just shoot the jump shot. They can put it on the floor and go past you and dunk on you. I don't know if you'll ever see two guys score 25 apiece, and still get five, six rebounds and six, seven assists. That's hard to beat."
"I'm flattered. It's an honor," said Arenas, who was a Lakers fan growing up in North Hollywood, Calif. "You listen to what someone like that says. And you take it. You take it and you run with it."

EJ gets ejected by old friend.
"I thought LeBron was getting a lot of touch fouls going to the basket and if they were fouls, then Gilbert deserved to get those calls, along with Larry [Hughes] and Antawn," Jordan said. "I didn't see that happen, so I made it known. I certainly didn't want to get tossed to fire us up, I wanted to be in the game."
"We're really turning it on at the right time," said Arenas, who added nine assists. "We're getting all of our pieces back and we're showing people what we can do. We're having fun out here. We got through a rough stretch, and we're better for it, and there's no slowing down now."
We can't pack it in," Hughes said. "We are still playing to get rhythm going into the postseason. We know we are headed there, so we want to continue to play playoff basketball right now and not come out and have a letdown. We want to come out and win every game."
