basketball elton finally games people played taking winning
Elton has always played consistently, but now we're winning basketball games and people are finally taking notice.
ball easiest fourth game guys last lots minutes quarter three time
Lots of guys don't want the ball in the fourth quarter in the last three minutes of the game. I think that is the easiest time of the game to get the ball. So I try and get the ball and do the things I can do.
dictated game lost mirror team three win
Everyone on this team has to take a look in the mirror and be accountable for what they do. They dictated the whole game - probably 45 minutes. Down the stretch, we made some plays. It's a win in our column, we had lost three in a row. We'll take it.
definitely game sweet win
It was definitely a big win for us. This was a game that we really needed. It would be sweet if we could get the win (Saturday), too.
box game hustle win wins
We didn't come out with the aggressiveness we need to be successful. We need to win the hustle game and we didn't. When you see who wins the hustle game, you don't need to look at the box score.
coming couple days games night ready rest talked took
It was just precaution, nothing major. We've got a couple of games coming up at home, so I talked with Mike, and took the night off to heal. I'll get two days rest and I'll be ready to play Friday.
defense effort game gave team took win won
How are you not going to get up to play in the Garden. I try to win and I took what the defense gave me. It's a team effort that's why we won the game tonight.
corey deny elton
Elton is our horse. No one will deny that. But we need to get Corey back. We need Z back. We need all of our guys.
brand credit elton job lead people tend
People tend to give me a lot of credit for the turnaround, but Elton Brand is our horse, as he goes, we go. My job is to put us in the right direction, lead us, get us through what we need to do and I think I've been doing that.
carter either great guys late player shot stop
Vince Carter is such a great player that we need two guys to try to stop him. When we got there to try to stop him, we got there too late and he either made the shot or we fouled him.
against hard
There's no vendetta against Minnesota. I just don't like how it ended. There were differences there in the end. But they went on, and I'm going on. There are no hard feelings.
affect felt seen time
That was my first time ever doing that. I've seen it done a lot of times. It did affect me because everything I did, I felt it.
coaching expects feeling mike playing year
Mike expects so much from us, and I think it's the first year that he really has that feeling it's something special. He has the right to feel that way because he's been around for a long, long time, coaching and playing the game. He understands what it's going to take for us to be successful.
five harder knew played point seven stops takes win
We made a statement. They just played harder in the first half, but we showed that a win at this point takes more than just playing. We got seven consecutive stops and scored five times and I knew we were going to win.
