allow ourselves playing start
We can't allow ourselves to get down like that before we start playing basketball.
short shot
I don't think he tipped it. I just shot it short. I shot it short over a 7-foot guy.
brand elton excellent figure foul glad trying
We're glad he got in foul trouble. He's an excellent ballplayer. Just to see him and Elton Brand go at it, trying to figure each other out, that was magnificent.
chance guys needed team
This team needed leadership. But you have to want to be led. I get on my guys because we have a chance to be special. To be very special.
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.
chance
We've got a chance to be special. We've got a chance to be very, very special.
corey proud team
Who would have thought that about us before the season. I'm proud of where we're at. But we need our whole team together. Corey can't do what I can do, I can't do what Corey can do.
somebody work
I'm an All-Star in my mind. You don't have to have somebody tell you that, to be an All-Star. It doesn't work that way.
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.
continue teams
We're just the same old Clippers. That's all we are. We're just the same old Clippers. We want teams to continue to take us lightly.
downs intensity lack tend ups
I think as long as we have intensity, then we'll be fine. All ups and downs come from lack of intensity, and as long as we have intensity for 48 minutes, we're fine. When we lack that intensity, we tend to struggle.
communication properly result second zone
I think it was our communication on defense. When we do that, we're at our best. When we don't communicate, we get our butts whipped. It's just that simple. In the first half, we weren't communicating properly and they were having their way with us. In the second half, we went to the zone and communicated better, and the result was a 20-point win.
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.
goes monkey season
Our season goes up and down and we are going to find a way to get it back. We don't have a monkey on our back. We have a gorilla.
