short shot
I don't think he tipped it. I just shot it short. I shot it short over a 7-foot guy.
against battling
He was in there battling against the big guys. He got them. Rebounding is about desire.

I'm an All-Star in my mind. You don't have to have somebody tell you that, to be an All-Star. It doesn't work that way.
depend player stepping
He's become a player who's not just out there playing, but someone we depend on. We depend on him. He's been stepping up for us.

I can't go 1 for 12 and expect my team to win.

This team needed leadership. But you have to want to be led. I get on my guys because we have a chance to be special. To be very special.

brand elton excellent figure foul glad trying
We're glad he got in foul trouble. He's an excellent ballplayer. Just to see him and Elton Brand go at it, trying to figure each other out, that was magnificent.
ball easiest fourth game guys last lots minutes quarter three time
Lots of guys don't want the ball in the fourth quarter in the last three minutes of the game. I think that is the easiest time of the game to get the ball. So I try and get the ball and do the things I can do.
against hard
There's no vendetta against Minnesota. I just don't like how it ended. There were differences there in the end. But they went on, and I'm going on. There are no hard feelings.
brand credit elton job lead people tend
People tend to give me a lot of credit for the turnaround, but Elton Brand is our horse, as he goes, we go. My job is to put us in the right direction, lead us, get us through what we need to do and I think I've been doing that.
corey deny elton
Elton is our horse. No one will deny that. But we need to get Corey back. We need Z back. We need all of our guys.
basketball elton finally games people played taking winning
Elton has always played consistently, but now we're winning basketball games and people are finally taking notice.
carter either great guys late player shot stop
Vince Carter is such a great player that we need two guys to try to stop him. When we got there to try to stop him, we got there too late and he either made the shot or we fouled him.
