came couple fourth gave good hard job last played stopping tough tried
It was a tough loss. We came out and tried to play hard and gave it up in the fourth quarter. They did a good job of stopping our last couple of plays. It was back and forth, but they ... played all the way through.
locker negative next players starting stops win
This stops the bleeding. Things were starting to get negative around the locker room, players were getting on each other. But we get a win like this, it relaxes us. Now, we've just got to come out and play and get the next one.
came couple dug game ourselves pressure shots slow stop third
We got it back down to a four-point game and Gilbert came down and made a couple big shots and Jamison, too. We started off slow and dug ourselves a hole, and when we got back, they put the pressure back on and went back up by 10 points. ... In the third we were making shots and they were making shots. It came down to who was going to stop the other first.
agree ask chain decision everybody maybe money people spend stop though tough waste wearing wrong
I don't agree with it, but there is something wrong with that. I'm all for wearing suits, even though I don't wear suits. I think jewelry-wise, that's a decision on how we want to spend our money. I feel like people want that. People like the watches, the chains. Even when I go out, when I don't wear it, people ask me, 'Where's the chain at?' It's going to be pretty tough to get everybody to stop wearing their $30,000, $40,000 -- maybe more than that -- chains. It's a waste of money if we can't wear it where we want to wear it.

I have a tough job every night. You can't truly stop anybody in this league. I just try to get in the other shooting guard's head and make everything tough.

Other teams have started to feel like they're at home when they play in Orlando. We've got to start being more physical and let these guys know that this is our place.

I thought I played him well. We're just making it tough on ourselves. It shouldn't have come to that.
francis playing steve
Steve Francis wasn't playing like the Steve Francis we all know. I think he'll show the real Steve in New York.
awesome complain hard job plays says steve superstar
Steve did an awesome job off the bench. He didn't complain about it. When you've got a superstar like that who comes out and plays hard after being suspended, that says a lot for his character.
difference guard passing point scoring steve
That was the difference between having a scoring point guard and a passing point guard out there. Steve is a scoring point guard; Carlos is a passing point guard.
team worry
We do want to go to the playoffs, no doubt. But we've got to worry about each team that comes in here.
eventually good guys playoff struggling talented team term though trades
We're way more talented than our record. After the trades we made, you can see that in the long term we're going to be a good team down the line. We've got a lot of young guys who are 23, 24 and even 20 years old, and we're eventually going to be a playoff team even though we're struggling now.
