Ok, I guess the matter on where the Nuggets stand as of game 5 is still up in the air.\

So i found some quotes from our head quitter that i'll leave to you guys to ponder to.

PS. No petty bickering please, really let's just focus on the task at hand.

Carmelo Anthony:

A lot of people took what I said when I said I needed help the wrong way. But I talked to my teammates. They know what I meant,"

"We talk basketball every day, so they know I’m not pointing nobody out individually.

"I’m not saying I’m playing the best I can play. I’m in there with them. We’re all losing together."

(on AD's comments) "If that’s how he felt, maybe I’ve got to do a better job of taking care of the basketball, not getting so many charges and just being aware of what’s going on out there,"

"I can’t dispute what the head coach is saying. He’s on the sideline. If he sees that problem, then I’ve got to fix it."

"The locker room is fine,"

"We had a great practice today. Everybody seemed to be on the same page as of right now. And tomorrow, we’re going to go out there and battle."

Bonuses:

JR Smith says he "cant stop thinking bout this game coming up!"

Adrian Dantley on his "coaching style":

"I don’t know what people talk about when they say I don’t get in anyone’s face or I’m quiet,"

"I’m just here to keep the guys together and do what George (did). I haven’t changed any philosophy at all, still doing what George (did). Just come out and try to win a basketball game. It’s not about me, how I am. It’s about us staying together and winning basketball games."

Chauncey Billups on GK's absence, man:

"George won over 900 games, man,"

"You miss his voice, you miss his leadership, you miss the plays that he draws up in timeouts. You miss the halftime speech. You miss everything,"

"But that’s not an excuse at all because I don’t do that, I don’t make excuses. I think A.D. has done a wonderful job. But that’s what you miss when you’re head coach is out."

A few words from the other side.

Deron Williams:

"Let’s worry about us. Whatever they say is what they say. We’re just worried about winning this next game and closing the series out."

Carlos Boozer:

"We’re not going to fall into the trap of thinking that we’ve won the series. We haven’t. We have a lead in the series. We haven’t won anything."

PS. Again I got this from the Associated Press.
