Jason Richardson Game Quotations

No disrespect to the point guards who were here in the past, but Baron's the type of point guard that makes everybody better. He gets in the lane and just finds guys. I been waiting for a guy like him to come and he took my game to another level.

He had a good game. I had a good game. But he had a better game than I did, and they won.

He is the top guard in the league, and he won the game. He knew they needed buckets, and he took the game over.

We just didn't execute our game plan. We had a game plan to slow Pau down and we did a good job on him, but they had other guys come up big.

We didn't execute our game plan. They had other guys scoring big numbers. Eddie Jones scored big. Shane Battier scored big. Bobby Jackson came in and had a big night.

We're not in a hole yet, but we're digging ourselves into one. Every game we don't win, we get deeper in that hole.

We were due to win a game in Cleveland. Guys really pulled together.

We missed easy shots we're very capable of making. That was a lack of focus. We lost the game because we didn't execute toward the end. ... We're not satisfied with people talking about us. We want to make the playoffs.

There was a lot of desperation to win these games. Closing out the game. Hitting free throws. Valuing each possession of the ball. We did it all tonight and we pulled the game out.

There were times when we needed to make a stop, and they scored on us. That was the difference in the game. Overall we played a good game. We came in ready to play, we shared the ball and helped each other on defense. Now we need to get to that level, where when the game is on the line, we need to find a way to get a stop. We just missed shots.

It's the most important game to me for our playoff race. I wasn't even thinking about being hurt. I'm just doing whatever I can to help this team win games. I wish I could've done a little bit more. I wish I could've hit a free throw at the end that would've sealed it.

It was huge. I get the shot off and it was a big game, probably the best in my career. To win a game like this was huge for this team. We really needed it.
