When we have the intensity that Vince has had in the last week or so, it means a lot. |
When you get older, you begin to appreciate (triple-doubles) more. When you can get a triple-double, that opportunity doesn't come every night. I probably stayed in longer than I should've, but I wanted to stay on the floor and try for it. |
When you give a team like that comfort shots, they're going to wear you. I think we just didn't execute well enough the game plan. It's not just coach. It falls on the players for not going out there and execute. |
Winning can get boring. Hopefully we learned that tonight, giving up 37 points in that fourth quarter. |
Yeah, because if we won 10 in a row (in June) I think we'd be running up and down the (Garden State) Parkway right now. |
You can't say winning is boring. Hopefully we learned that tonight, giving up 37 points in that fourth quarter, we almost pulled the plug. Hopefully that will be a wake-up call for us. |
You have ask Rod what he said to Mr. Shinn. |
You heard so many horror stories, ... There was a gentleman holding onto his family and onto a pole. His wife was saying, 'Let us go.' There was nothing he could do but he held on and did everything he could to save his family. |
You won't see a game like that from Shaq, very rarely. We were waiting for him to take control of the game. |
You've got Dallas ? they're right there with San Antonio, Detroit and Miami. It's always good to beat a top team, and hopefully that can get people to talk about us a little bit. |
You've got guys on this team that could average 25 or 30 points a night. R.J. has been patient. He has waited his turn. |
You've got to give them credit for coming back. We've got a lot of respect for them. |
You've got to keep it. You worked this hard. You don't want to just give it away. We have to come out with the mind-set of what we did in Games 2 and 4. |
