Richard Jefferson Teams Quotations

There are five or six teams that realistically have a chance to win the championship, and I definitely believe we're one of them.

There are five or six teams that can make it to the end. Nothing's changed.

There is no doubt about it, both teams pride themselves on defense. It's not going to be a high-scoring game. It's going to be that type of series.

We don't concern ourselves with what other teams are doing. Because if you worry about who's winning, who's losing, trying to do all this math, sometimes you can get caught up in all that.

We played against one of the top two or three teams in the league. We beat some very, very good teams during the streak. Now we have to try and continue our home dominance.

You don't prove yourself until the playoffs. Detroit and Miami are the two best teams in the conference, and until someone knocks them off, they're still the two best teams in the conference.

We knew we had the ability to beat good teams on their floor. So we knew if we could just establish some consistency (at home) we could string together some wins.

There are about five or six teams that realistically have a chance of winning a championship. I definitely think we're one of them.

Our expectations are high. But we're just like a lot of teams at this time of the year. We're going to try to win 16 games.

Certain teams set your goals at a certain level. For this team, if someone would have told you at the beginning of the year that we were going to make the playoffs, it probably wouldn't have been much of a story.

I do believe there are other teams in this conference that are very good. A shot here, a shot there, you never know what's going to happen.
