It is huge. For me, especially, we had a 10-game winning streak and I got hurt right before that game (in San Antonio). I wasn't able to play. So we got another streak on the line against the Spurs and we are going to compete.
J-Kidd, it was just unbelievable what he did tonight.
J-Kidd, it was just unbelievable what he did. He's been all-league defense I don't know how many years.
J-Kidd is grabbing me, pulling me and I am telling him to calm down.
He's always at the game and he's a staple in New Jersey. People come to games just to see if he's going to be there. He's very positive when it comes to the team and it has a good effect.
He's been playing well for them all year. He's a guys who's been experienced for them, he's played in the NBA Finals, so a first-round playoff game, there's not so much pressure on him to perform.
There aren't too many people who don't know that man's name. That says something.
He hasn't lost a step, let that be known.
He might not be happy, but he'd have to go there and play. I guess it would be like playing for Charlotte or playing for Toronto.
Our offense was not where it should have been, and you have to give them credit. Tonight, we weren't at the top of our game, and they took advantage of that.
Our offense failed us. A lot of the decision-making.
Our defense wasn't good. Our offense was twice as bad. We have way too much offensive talent to score 15 (third-quarter) points against anybody.
Our defense wasn't good. Our offense was twice as bad.
My situation was pretty easy. My high school is a Nike school; I went the University of Arizona. It's not like it was bad choice, or I went there just because it was a Nike school. North Carolina, Duke, Arizona and Kentucky are all Nike schools, so if you are going to a top program, most of them are Nike.
