Eddie Jordan Time Quotations

New Jersey stepped up when winning time came. They did a good job of picking their spots. I thought we got a little bit disjointed, a little bit distracted and we didn't have a clear head as a unit to get it done tonight.

This was obviously a very tough loss for us. We fought hard and defended the last play as best as we could. At the same time we didn't some stops and missed a few rebounds, which cost us.

I think this is the time of year for a veteran to step up -- guys who have been in the playoffs like he has, guys who are dedicated. So he's focused in more, and he knows that each shot means a whole lot now. It's that time of the year for those types of guys.

We had to make a decision on the playing time with Chucky and A.D.. Each one of them gave us something that the other didn't. In the end, Chucky thought it would be better for him professionally -- and it was mutual -- if he could buy out his contract and play somewhere else.

We have a plan as far as getting him some games down there, getting him back up here for some practice time and probably activate him for a game somewhere along the line, ... It's a development thing for him.

The time when we made the change in the lineup was a true wake-up call. It said that we've done enough with the X's and the O's and the repetitive talking, this and that and film work. Now it is time to change the people. When players see that, they say this is serious business.

It's winning time for him. It's time to make a move. He knows it. We all know it. I think he's just going out there and being a leader for us, showing us this is how to get it done.

He struggled a little bit more than we would have liked, ... The important thing for him is to keep getting playing time so he can continue developing his basketball skills. He's shown some good things. He has great size. He runs well. We're going to keep working with him.

It's the first time I've ever seen Dwayne Wade under control from our team. And yet they still prevailed.

It is the time of year for our veterans and guys who have been to the playoffs to step up for us. Antonio has done that.

It is unconscionable that some of our citizens have decided to take advantage of this natural disaster by stealing from their own fellow citizens. This is a time when people need to come together.

This is the time of year for veterans. Guys like Antonio who've been to the playoffs. This is when you expect to see them come to the front.
