Jason Richardson Guys Quotations

Neither team played defense. A lot of guys scored points and there was a lot of foul shooting and a lot of fouling. If we could have made a couple of stops, we would have won the game.

Guys really pulled together. Fish came in and stepped up huge. He pretty much played point guard the whole game.

I think we're too focused on the stars. When you focus on the stars, role players get off. Guys that usually don't have big nights are getting 20, 25 points. Once they get their points, the starters come in and kick our butts.

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

We were thin. Guys have bad games, it was kind of hard to have somebody to come in and lift the team up.

We were penetrating and kicking the ball out. We got our 3-pointers because of good ball rotation. We have a lot of guys who can shot.

You're expressing yourself, expressing your identity. It's taking away our self expression. I like to dress and change it up, ... Some of them have religious meanings behind their chains, others have personal messages behind their chains. Some guys just like to wear them. I think that was an indirectly racial.

The young guys got a lot of talent. Right now, they're playing with their talent, and they're playing better than what we expected of them.

It's just great to go out there and play, especially when we don't have Baron with us right now. We knew we had to pick it up individually. Everybody had to pick up a level, whether it was talking, passing the ball, whatever it was. We knew we had to pick up the slack because Baron has big shoes to fill. Guys stepped up their game.

It was one of those games. Neither team played defense tonight.... It was one of those games where guys were scoring. If we would have made a couple of stops, we would have won the game.

I have to do a better job of defending guys like that. I've got a challenge (tonight) with (Boston Celtics guard) Paul (Pierce). I've got to do a better job on both ends of the court.

The guard positions, those guys got off. We didn't step up. Of course we scored, but that's not what it's about. It's about stopping the other guy.
