Lawrence Frank Good Quotations

We're just playing at a much different level now, we're much more secure with who we are. We're in a much different state, where we don't exhale. We belong. We're a damn good team.

Let's not just all jump in and say: What's up with Vince Carter? He had a day, you know? You've got to take the good with the bad.

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.

I think morale-wise it's big. More guys were involved, helps probably more people feel good about themselves.

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.

That was a good win against a divisional rival on the road.

We only had three field goals, but more importantly, we gave up 27 points. We just had some defensive breakdowns. Sometimes we played good defense and they made shots. That's why we're tipping our hats to them.

It's important we continue to practice good habits regardless of what the result is because as we go on, we'll wean minutes down for some guys. But it's still important we're doing what Nets basketball is all about.
