Quotes:
“Oh man, it feels good. We’re now satisfied, but just keep things rolling and the sky’s the limit for this team.”
-Jason Thompson on reaching .500 again (during 11/29 post game interview with Grant Napear and Jerry Reynolds)

“Spirit is great, man. We’re tough and it’s good watching TV and seeing what people are saying about us. They’re saying ‘You’re going to Sacramento, those boys are playing hard. That’s a tough place to play.’ Last year everybody used to pass up Sacramento (and think) oh, we’ve got a win. It’s a different story when you’re coming into our building. Our guys are playing hard. It starts with our young, sensational rookie, Tyreke. You’ve got Noc out there, you’ve got Ime, you’ve got Donté, you’ve got guys with a little swagger and toughness and you see it on the floor.”
- Kings assistant coach Mario Elie

“I’m really enjoying playing. We know every night it’s going to be tough, but we are enjoying fighting for the win every night. ARCO Arena has been a very tough place to play against us. I wish the next game will be sold out and that will help us a lot more.”
- Sergio Rodriguez

On how gratifying it is being in Sacramento:
“The most important thing, and what makes me so happy, is when I get to play. That is all that I ask. When I didn’t play a few games ago, it was tough. I knew that when I got in (Coach Westphal) would let me play and that is the whole thing. I am enjoying playing here and I am enjoying playing for him.”
– Sergio Rodriguez (11/29 postgame)

“They have the Lakers and Dallas (next) and they’re facing the Kings (on Friday),” rookie Omri Casspi said smiling, a day after tallying a career-high 18 points. “They probably thought they were going to come in here and win, and we proved them wrong. So maybe they’re going to win in STAPLES Center, but not in ARCO.”

“We just want to prove everybody wrong, basically. We know we are a good team and we can win games, especially at home. We have to defend our home court. I’m not saying we’re going to win all of them, but if we win most of them and maybe a couple on the road, we can be a .500 team easily, especially with the home crowd, the 6th man, it’s much easier to win.”
- Beno Udrih
