Well, sorry for them, but we're not going to be in the lottery this year. If this team doesn't have injuries, we're not going to be a part of that.

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

I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do. Since I was a rookie I was groomed to make shots down the stretch.

I just told him, the first day I got here, I'll make his job look easy. The stuff he does, I'll make it come easy to him.

Mike expects so much from us, and I think it's the first year that he really has that feeling it's something special. He has the right to feel that way because he's been around for a long, long time, coaching and playing the game. He understands what it's going to take for us to be successful.

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.
