catch kept momentum played quarter third
I thought we played okay, but they stole the momentum right from the third quarter and just kept it going and we couldn't catch up to them.
gear half intensity last loss quarter shift stay win
We always say that one win can get you going and that one loss can get you going the other way. We just have to shift into another gear like we did in the last quarter and a half and come at with the same intensity and stay at that intensity.
center forward great guards physical player presence quarters question special three
There's no question that he's a special player for us, ... I can play him at forward or center and he switches out on guards on pick-and-rolls. I can play him after he sits there for three quarters and he does a great job. I can play him when I feel we need a more physical presence tonight, more defense. He does everything for us. He's important for us.
clinic close defensive holding jump quarter second shoot somebody
The second quarter was like a defensive clinic for us. Holding somebody like the Celtics, who shoot close to 50 percent, holding them down to only 10 points. That kind of jump started us.
believed both ends fourth quarter terrific
Antonio had a terrific fourth quarter at both ends of the floor. As a team, we just believed and we fought.
closing good guys mark quarter reach seemed stock talking
It seemed good at the time: 'This could be the closing quarter for us to reach a mark that you guys have been talking about. I haven't really put a lot of stock in that. . . . If we thought .500 was a goal, then there's nothing more to achieve.
breaking decent defending finding four job minutes pick rolls tried
I thought we did a decent job (of defending James) early, four minutes I guess, and then he started breaking us down and making shots. Then we tried to double-team those pick and rolls and he started finding people.
bad best good miss played proud shots small
I thought we had a good look. It was too bad it didn't go in. We did the best we could with Yao with the small lineup we played with. We made Yao miss some shots and I was proud of our team.
answer brand played simple
I thought they executed very well and played an all-around game. We didn't have an answer for Brand or Sam. They played well and we didn't - simple as that.
almost basketball brand chance deal deep gods guys learn playing road season shots team terrific three tie trying veteran win
I thought to win on the road is a big deal in the NBA, the season opener, almost a brand new team for us, ... We're trying to learn how to play with each other. We're a very deep team, a very veteran team and I'm just trying to find the right combinations out there with guys who are playing well, so it is a terrific win. They had a chance to tie it with three shots at the end and the basketball gods were with us.
jersey played stepped
I thought this was a very well played game. New Jersey stepped up and executed at the right times.
came car changed f1 front holiday imagine might paul seeing spend wheels
I think we might spend it on a holiday together. If Paul came and changed the front wheels of an F1 car I can't imagine seeing an invoice from him.
decision felt point
It got to a point where he felt it was intolerable. We made a decision to give it some rest.
focused guys knows means playoffs shot step time types veteran year
I think this is the time of year for a veteran to step up -- guys who have been in the playoffs like he has, guys who are dedicated. So he's focused in more, and he knows that each shot means a whole lot now. It's that time of the year for those types of guys.
