109 Quotes by Antawn Jamison

You just hope that it doesn't come to any type of tiebreaker situation or anything like that.

We really put it upon our shoulders to come out and play well. Caron had it going early and I had it going late. Those are the things that we're accustomed to. Teams know that we're the highest-scoring trio in the league. If we're playing well, it's going to be hard to beat us.

We played poorly. We didn't rebound. They pretty much got 25 points off offensive rebounds, but nothing was gift-wrapped. We just stay poised. We didn't let our play affect us.

We were so disappointed in ourselves. To come out in the first game like that. National TV. The spotlight. And we pretty much laid an egg. We embarrassed the coaching staff, we embarrassed ourselves. We showed that in practice (Sunday). It wasn't one of those practices where we just showed up, took a few shots and went home. Coach was on us and we went at it. That's what you saw in this game.

We get paid to play ball, but it's good to do a charity game to put a smile on a kid's face and do it all for a good cause.

We aren't going to sneak up on anybody this year. Last year, maybe there was a sense that yeah, they are the same old Wizards. Now that we had some success, got to the playoffs, people are going to be up for us. We have to be ready for that challenge every single night.

Those are teams that are looking like playoff-caliber teams, so for us, it's going to be a good test. We'll have the opportunity to distance ourselves or put ourselves in a hole. They're going to have the same mind frame facing us.

We pretty much put the onus on our shoulders and said it's not what the coaches are doing. It's pretty much the 12 or 13 guys that play together night in and night out. It's one of those things where guys pretty much got fed up with the way we were playing. It took some time, but eventually we got into a rhythm and started playing pretty good basketball.

We didn't play well that game and I didn't play well that game so I really want to find a way to avenge that loss. We need to have a good game in front of our home crowd and get another win.
