Vince Carter Best Quotations

When you come out to play a rival you never know. Regardless of the up-and-downs, you are going to get the best effort. It was important for us to come out focused. You want to jump on them early and stay up. If you give the team life at any point in time they can come back and beat you.

I don't care who is on the other team. If they only have five guys to play with we're trying to win. It's unfortunate for them and fortunate for us.

We consider Miami one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference so we see it as a test each and every time. They beat on us last year in the playoffs so we wanted to come out and see how we could fix it and just compete with them. We competed with them before but we just weren't on their level.

We feel we can compete against the best teams in the league. But against the better teams, you can't have the mental mistakes late in the game, because that's when the better team will prevail. They hit some big shots and we left them wide open to hit some big shots.

Everybody kind of has their chests poked out now. That's what we want. We want to feel like we can compete with anybody, whether it's the best teams or worst teams, and still get the job done executing.

We've just committed to this team and turned things around. We've gotten results. It feels good. It looks good and everybody kind of has their chests poked out now. We want to feel like we can compete with anybody, whether it's the best teams or worst teams, and still get the job done executing.

This is the best time to be playing our best basketball. I'm hoping it can only be better.

It's all sore right now. It seemed like that fall took forever. I've been in a position like that when I broke my wrist. I was just trying to hold on for dear life and trying not to hurt myself. That was the best I could do.

It's 16 games to accomplish a goal we all want. And letting one go hurts. I want to play the best game I can possibly play for my team every night, so when you let one slip away, it's a tough pill to swallow.
