carry chance great hit league mike team
Mike has always been a great player. He's getting a chance now to really show the league that he can carry a team and hit big shots.
great hottest league playing richard teams
It's going to be tough. They're one of the hottest teams in the league right now. Vince (Carter) is playing tremendous, and so is Richard Jefferson, so we got to play great team defense, great man-on-man defense.
almost black definitely guys league percent racial wear
I definitely feel that's a racial statement. Almost 100 percent of the guys in the league who are young and black wear big chains.
nice dressing-up league
I have no problem dressing up . . . because I know I'm a nice-looking guy. But as far as chains, I definitely feel that's a racial statement. Almost 100% of the guys in the league who are young and black wear big chains. So I definitely don't agree with that at all.
game last playoffs wanna winning worry
We just wanna worry about winning this last game and going into the playoffs with some momentum.
feels miss shots taken
I've never taken that many shots in a game. I know what it feels like to miss all those shots, though.
good knocking offense open shots within
The shots we got were within our offense and they were good looks, but we just weren't knocking them down. We got a lot of open shots that we missed.
felt good left shot
The shot felt good when it left my hand.
Is it about Ron? If it's about Ron, I'm not answering.
best drives frustrated gets hard hungry knows motivates people player plays reason ron stuff time understand wants
People don't understand that a lot of stuff he's done and the reason he plays so hard and is so hungry is because he wants to be great. I think a lot of time Ron gets frustrated because he knows he's better than what he's been playing. He wants to be the best player in the game. That's what drives him, that's what motivates him.
last played
We feel like we have a lot to prove, ... But not to the world, to ourselves. We know we're better than the way we played last year.
couple hope shots stop tough work
Vince is one of those guys, you can't stop him, but you just hope you can make him take some tough shots and hope he has an off night. I'm going to make him work for everything out there. And hopefully, I can get away with a couple of fouls.
excuse lose
There's no excuse to lose to those guys. We know that we're a better team.
cut game lead ran
We got back in the game and kind of ran out of gas. We didn't keep pushing. Once we cut the lead we kind of relaxed.
