Second half, I thought Andre (Miller) picked apart the zone more thoroughly. Our defense picked up. We made them miss a lot of shots and got our transition game going. |
Seems like we're playing well together right now. |
Sometimes I think we try to overcomplicate it. Truth of the matter is you probably should just vote the honest way. I think you have to reward the guys who you think are All-Stars. |
That was fine. My team was playing hard. If we didn't turn the ball over like we did, we would have been in that game all the way. |
That was the best that we have played both defensively and offensively. |
That window isn't shut, but if Kenyon (Martin) is out for the year, if we lose another player and we're going to go to playing an 85-point game, Vo might have an opportunity to fit into a 5-on-5 offense. I still think everybody in this organization is committed to actually trying to pick the pace up in 2006. |

That works at Duke. I don't think it works in the NBA. They get that call at Cameron (Indoor Stadium). |
That would have been irresponsible. He could have gone back in and gotten hurt. |
That's in the Larry Bird category. |
That's probably been my No. 1 trait this season: I haven't lost my cool. I think I've been more understanding than angry. It might be time to get angry. |
That's probably true, but those other teams have earned the right to be talked about because of their success in the playoffs in the past. I think (someone else), hopefully the Denver Nuggets, will earn that right this year. |
The basketball world respects winning in the playoffs. You don't have to have the basketball world to be a rich man, with statistics. Thirty teams are always going to sign good players, but the special player usually performs in the playoffs. |
The big thing about Carmelo is, he's done everything we've asked him to do, and he's been a leader of our summer program. Our rookies probably have practiced more and been in the gym, but the next guy's probably Carmelo. |
The circumstances that happened will energize us or de-energize us. I'm hoping we'll all stay strong and stay together and hang together. My gut tells me we're going to do that, but only Thursday night will tell us the answer to that. |
