It's different. But if you're going to use that as an excuse, you shouldn't play. Is it that big of a difference? We'll see. |
It's going to be outrageous, the atmosphere in Denver. All we've done to this point is hold serve. We've won at home. As far as I'm concerned, we still face a big challenge going to Denver. Our backs are to the wall, just like they've been all season. |
It's going to take more than one year. But we've got a heck of a start. No doubt about it, L.A. is a great place, especially when you're winning. |
It's good that our team is holding those leads, because last year we lost games like this, |
It's more than just having a winning season. I'm looking forward to getting in the playoffs and trying our best. |
It's not a joke. If you don't take us seriously, we're going to walk out of your arena with a win. It's just that simple. It's just that simple. |
Just because I didn't meet and greet everyone around here, |
Just having a winning season is a lot for many in the organization. I am looking forward to getting in the playoffs and trying our best to advance. I am going to do my best to take this team. We are still in the tunnel but we see some light. We need to keep striding and keep going and I think we can accomplish that. |
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. |
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. |
No one gave us a chance to win the ballgame but us. |
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. |
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. |
Playoff basketball is totally different. I won a championship and lost six games in a row (in the regular season). I don't buy this momentum thing. What is momentum? Every games is different. We are not playing bad basketball. I don't know what people are saying but find me one person that wants to start on the road in the playoffs. Everyone wants to start at home. |
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. |
