"That crowd is the best in the league. It was crazy out there. You really can't ask to play in a better place."
-- Pistons Guard Richard Hamilton

"They (the fans) were awesome. They didn't need any liquid courage today. I was out front waiting for everybody and they told me they couldn't serve until noon. So I came in. I got a lot of yells for me to start paying out there. But, you know what? I didn't bring my wallet."
-- Pistons Guard Jon Barry

"Our building was louder than any building I've ever been in and I really felt it was a key factor for us. I am really happy for our fans, too. Not just the Pistons fans, but Detroit fans. With the Red Wings not being able to advance, we really wanted to keep this thing going for our city."
-- Pistons Head Coach Rick Carlisle

"There was a lot of energy in this building; it was great to be a part of a Game Seven."
-- Magic Guard Tracy McGrady

"The roars from The Palace gave you goose bumps. It was that stirring, that deafening. It was only fitting. The Pistons not only made magic Sunday afternoon, but they also made believers out of an entire city."

"The ol' buzz was back and the crowd was wild."
