Ben Gordon Doubt Quotations

We had some doubts early on as to whether we'd even make the playoffs. It's been an up-and-down season. People said we weren't going to make the playoffs. It's been a mental grind and frustrating at parts of the season, but we worked through it.

I knew it was good. Any time I get in those situations, I just tell myself, 'I'm going to make this shot.' When it left my hand, I had no doubt it was going to go in.

It's no doubt in my mind I can be a starter, but that's not my role. It wasn't our scoring that got us there. We didn't have any all-stars. It was our defensive intensity. That's the key to this team being successful. You got to continue to do that and we can be good as last year and maybe better.

There was no doubt in my mind that we could stay with this team, just because of how hard we play. There are no moral victories in the playoffs. We just have to keep working.

It was really tough to get an open look or to get in the lane. There was no doubt in my mind we could stay with this team because of how hard we play.

It's frustrating, but what are you going to do? There's no doubt about it in my mind, we can turn it around. We have a great bunch of guys. We just need to continue to grind it out.
