Richard Jefferson Win Quotations

That was probably the biggest win in the history of the franchise.

We've spoiled people early. We could win the rest of our games, but we're going to be judged by how we play in the playoffs. This is good. This is great. But we understand that's how we're going to be judged.

There are five or six teams that realistically have a chance to win the championship, and I definitely believe we're one of them.

Everybody was to blame. You have a chance to win on the road, and the last 10 possessions, you don't get many stops. That's what it comes down to. Forget everything that happened the first 40 minutes of the game. The last 10, 15 possessions, that really determines how this game adds up.

Our expectations are high. But we're just like a lot of teams at this time of the year. We're going to try to win 16 games.

The Nets, since I've been here, are going to be judged by how you play in the playoffs. You win a lot of games in the regular season, we're still going to be judged by how you play in the playoffs. This is good, this is great, but we understand ultimately what's the big picture.

You try and win as many games as you possibly can. If in that time you catch them, then you catch them.

I don't think Detroit was ecstatic when they won a division. I don't think San Antonio is going to be excited when they win theirs. . . . This is just one step.
