I respect it, but that doesn't mean I have to like the feedback when I feel like one of my guys is being crushed when look what the (heck) he's done.

I think it's a combination of our guys effort and them playing the second half of a back-to-back which probably caught up with their legs a little bit.

best denver experience fortunate good guys jason last mental mind minutes played plays shows teams win worked
I think this win shows our mental toughness, because it's mind over matter. You have Jason Kidd who played 46 minutes last night, and then plays 40 tonight. This is something our guys can look back on and is a good experience for this team. Denver is one of the best homecourt teams in the league. Things worked for us. We got fortunate that Carmelo got hurt.
good guys helps people
I think morale-wise it's big. More guys were involved, helps probably more people feel good about themselves.

Jason makes this whole thing work. You take him out of the equation, it's a totally different view. He's an unbelievable leader who imposes his will on the game.

Jason is a selfless guy, he makes everything work around here. That's what he's all about. He's the straw that stirred the drink from Day 1, and he will continue to do it.
carter phenomenal shoulder took
Outstanding would be an understatement. Vince Carter took us on his shoulder and did a phenomenal job.
break defense defensive forcing four good left played seconds shoot shots since three
It hasn't been since the (All-Star) break where we were able to come out and do what we did to make it 8-0, and it started on the defensive end. We played really good defense in the first half, forcing them to shoot some shots with just three or four seconds left on the shot clock.
defensive high starts
When we play at a high level, it starts on the defensive end.
