SOUNDBITE (English): Jamal Crawford, Los Angeles Clippers Guard:

"I'm glad I'm appreciated but, like I said, hopefully it was reflective of our whole bench and our team because I could easily be on a team averaging 20 points off the bench and going nowhere - my season would be over two weeks ago - but to be part of this team and this coaching staff, you know, 57 wins with a ton of injuries I think is a credit to (head coach) Doc (Rivers) and his staff keeping us prepared but all of us believe in something bigger than ourselves."
