I wish I had the remedy for this. Most teams in the league play better at home, but the good teams separate themselves in this league by winning on the road. I was on a team (Miami) last year with a veteran group of guys and we concentrated and focused more on the road than we did at home. We're a young team and we've still got a lot to learn. |
If we would've taken care of business early in the season we wouldn't be in this position. Our team was a little different then. |
If you ask around the league, people will say we are good guys. It was just a mistake on both our parts. I wish I could take it back. |
It seems like sometimes we get a little stagnant and pound the ball too much, and that's mainly my fault and Steve's (Francis) fault. Offensively, we've just got to get better. |
It was a basketball fight, that's all it was. There really isn't anything else to say. |
It was tough. Defensively, we didn't contain Wade or Shaq. |
It's a different team. We've made a conscious effort to get the ball moving. When you get the ball moving, it's more fun and you get better shots instead of just going one-on-five sometimes. |
It's a long shot to think we can win the next nine. It's not like we had the button turned off all year, and we just clicked it on. But we've got young guys growing up quickly. Anything is possible. |
It's gratifying for all of us because you just don't know who is going to do it from night to night. At any given time anybody on this team can make a play to win the game for us. |
It's tough right now with a lot of bodies down, and a lot of guys have to play a lot of minutes. |
One of the best teams in the league came in here and everybody probably wrote us off. But we took care of business tonight. |
One of the good things about the NBA is that if you don't have a good game one night, you can come back the next night and get a win against a team like Boston. We were supposed to beat Atlanta, and we had to come back and get this one. |
Our guys are too competitive to throw in the towel now. It's way too early to talk about us packing it in. Miami came back two years ago and New Jersey did it last year, so we just need to get on a roll. |
Sometimes you don't think, you just react. I wish I could take it back. |
Sometimes you don't think, you just react. I wish I could take it back. I feel bad for the fans that participated in it and for the kids that had to see it. |
