It was just like the good old days. When I'm out there running, then that's when I'm playing my best. It felt so good out there. We showed that we still have the ability to get out there. |
It was just one of those nights. It was a combination of us playing good defense and getting good looks and good shots. We were fortunate to get them on a night where they didn't hit their shots. |
It was my first time being injured. Made it back for the playoffs, and started off this season struggling, now we are playing well. Ups and downs. Hopefully we will have more ups than downs. |
It went from bad to worse. |
It would have made things a lot easier on Vince (Carter). |
It's a nice stretch against very good teams. So it's going to be a tough stretch for us. |
It's always your move next. What are you going to do to make an adjustment to our counter? What are you going to do now that we have played this type of lineup? It's all about trying to find an advantage, especially with two evenly matched teams. |
It's big for us I'd never beaten the Dallas Mavericks in my career. |
It's big. We want to get home court. Detroit has separated themselves from the rest of the league. We can't get Detroit, so let's get the other. It's not too far-fetched. |
It's not so much the type of shot he hit, but the importance of the shot. |
It's tough to put it into words. And that's something that's rare for me to say. |
J-Kidd is grabbing me, pulling me and I am telling him to calm down. |
J-Kidd, it was just unbelievable what he did tonight. |
J-Kidd, it was just unbelievable what he did. He's been all-league defense I don't know how many years. |
Jermaine O'Neal really was their main guy for them, and then you try and collapse on him and [Johnson] gets hot out there. A.J. has never done that before. He had a great game. To act like that's going to be the norm over the series, I think everybody knows that's not going to be the case. He got hot. He hit some big shots for them. |
