(Winning the division) was a weight off our shoulders. It's a good accomplishment for this team, and we're ready to move on. |
[The Nuggets may win fewer than 30 games this year, but you won't hear 27-year-old point guard Andre Miller complaining. Anything beats playing for the Clippers.] I'm going to look back at last year and say it was the worst place I ever played, ... I look forward to playing with guys who want to get better and want to win. |
Bad defense. Easy baskets. I got some wide-open looks. |
Early in the season we were losing these close games. I guess it is a little bit of luck and some hard work. |
Early on they were calling a lot of those touch fouls, but it's inconsistent. They let some guys get away with more than others. And it changes from game to game. |
He's been preaching the same thing all year. I know he's frustrated as far as what's going on with the team. We, as players, have to be able to accept that and correct it. |
He's making plays this year, not just being a scorer. |
Hell, I could get three assists in a game with the right official scorer. |
I don't feel we have a lack of confidence. We're just playing some bad basketball. |
I got a hand up on the shot. He knocked the shot down. It was a good play. |
I got good two- to three-hour workouts every day out there (in Sacramento), ... It's organized like a practice, and we play full-court. |
I just think he's been more aggressive. He's knowing when to score, he's mixing up his shot with drives and getting to foul line. The main thing is, he's not just relying on his jump shot, he's getting to the basket. |
I never thought that would happen. |
I think they know we'll be around every game. We've been in this position before. If we come out with a better tempo at the start of the game, we'll have a better chance. |
I was just trying to make a play. I was trying to set him up to cross over and he did and I got the steal. |
