Carmelo Anthony Tried Quotations

I couldn't sleep last night due to the pain. I tried to go out there and play tonight, but by the third quarter it started tightening up on me.

Give the Clippers credit. They tried to take the ball out of my hands. We missed shots we normally make. We kept fighting and kept competing. I feel very good about this series.

I saw the double team coming, I tried to beat it and go faster.

I saw a double (team) coming and I just tried to beat it. I just had to go fast.

I was trying to set a screen for Andre Miller and just get open. I saw the double team coming and I just tried to beat it and go fast to the basket.

I think in certain situations last year and the year before last I would have tried to take that shot with three people on me. But I've seen even if I don't shoot the ball to win the game, I can win the game by passing it out of a double team.

Me playing only 6 minutes in the first half really hurt us. Anybody gets frustrated over fouls. It's a matter of how you bounce back. I tried to come back in the second half and bounce back. . . . By that time it was a little too late.

Every time we play San Antonio, it's always going to be tough. They send two or three people at me. . . . I knew my shot wasn't going down from the outside. I just tried to keep going to the hole and get some fouls.
