expect team
I can't go 1 for 12 and expect my team to win.
chance gone guys team ups win
From the first day of camp, I said this team could win 50, and we've got a chance to do it. We've had our ups and downs, we've gone through some things with all the injuries, but my guys never give up.
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.
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.
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.
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.
lottery sorry team
Well, sorry for them, but we're not going to be in the lottery this year. If this team doesn't have injuries, we're not going to be a part of that.
allow ball defensive drawing effort harder learned learning lost process team tuesday understand
This (loss) really doesn't sting. But it's a learning process for us. We learned that when we allow a team to play harder than us, this can happen. We understand why we lost this ball game. We had so many defensive lapses. We'll regroup, go back to the drawing board, and come back Tuesday with a better effort than we had tonight.
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.
basketball dog team
Tim Thomas is about excuses. It's always somebody else's fault. He said I was jealous? He should thank me for helping him get that contract. He said I didn't show? They traded me, they traded Ray, they traded Big Dog [Robinson] and Tim Thomas still wasn't the man on that team. Michael Redd became the man there. I think I'm doing quite well for myself here. Right now, he needs to focus on his game. Right now, he's not a good basketball player. And I like Tim Thomas. He just has too many damn excuses.
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.
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.
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.
