Post-Triple OT Quotes
Quotes from after the most thrilling Nets game of the post-season (and one of the greatest games they've ever played), an Eastern Conference Semi-final, Game 5 triple OT victory over Detroit, in Auburn Hills.

"I'm proud just to be a part of a game like that. I'm disappointed that we lost." - Larry Brown

"It will always be a special game. Regardless of how the series pans out, it was a great game to be a part of." - Kerry Kittles, as quoted by Brad Parks, Newark Star-Ledger

"That's a classic. You'll be seeing that game for years to come." - Lucious Harris, as quoted by Brad Parks, Newark Star-Ledger

"We didn't want to die. We didn't want to play all these playoff minutes and come out with a loss." - Lucious Harris, as quoted by Fred Kerber, NY Post

"I don't know what to say about that one. We've seen a lot of games, character games, grit games. That was unbelievable." - Lawrence Frank, as quoted by Fred Kerber, NY Post

"I'm an idiot. I could have fouled, and I could have doubled the ball, and I didn't do either one. That almost cost us the game."
- Lawrence Frank on Chauncey Billups' game-tying 3 at the end of regulation

"I feel like I had two games. I played one, I sat for a long time, then I played another." - Richard Jefferson, who scored 13 points in regulation and 18 during three 5-minute overtimes, as quoted by Brad Parks, Newark Star-Ledger

"We're down a little bit, but not too much. You still have to hold your head up. It's a loss, and it's not over. Guys played hard for 5 1/2 quarters. It was a see-saw. It was anybody's game tonight." - Rasheed Wallace, as quoted by Chris Nelsen, Newark Star-Ledger

"It's heartbreaking, as hard as we fought." - Mike James, as quoted by Fred Kerber, NY Post

"It was a total team effort, but I think you have to give kudos to Brian Scalabrine. He was phenomenal, just off the charts. Coming in, making shots, getting a huge loose ball in the corner." - Lawrence Frank, as quoted by Don Burke, Newark Star-Ledger

"The kid, Scalabrine, made some huge, huge shots." - Chauncey Billups

"I thought Scalabrine and (Lucious) Harris playing the shot clock really hurt us." - Larry Brown, as quoted by Don Burke, Newark Star-Ledger

"It's funny the way things work out. I wouldn't have been in there if Chauncey Billups hadn't made that half-court shot (to force the first overtime). I don't think I've ever been a part of anything like this, not on this type of stage. Maybe this will propel my career." - Brian Scalabrine, as quoted by Don Burke, Newark Star-Ledger

"The kid played great. What can I tell you? Veal just kept making plays." - Nets president Rod Thorn, as quoted by Don Burke, Newark Star-Ledger

"It was just great to be a part of an unbelievable game like this. Every time we went to another OT, and it seemed like there were six of them, I thought 'Great! I get to play five more minutes." - Brian Scalabrine
