Barclays Center Tourist Attraction?

Will the three apartment towers be directly behind the arena or across the street?

“We normally give a set of nets to the guy that is ‘the most valuable player’ of the game

“I was like, ’Where’s everybody else?’ " D-Will said. “They were like, ‘This is it.’”

“It was a good win for us, the way we battled after that tough one yesterday,” Deron said after the game. “We knew it was going to be a tough game for us just due to a lack of bodies. We played last night and a lot of us played big minutes. But we just knew that they played three games in three nights, so they should be a little fatigued as well. We tried to use that to our advantage.”

“I told them they were “The Great Eight” tonight and that’s the only way you can look at it. I told them that before the game and I told them the same after," Johnson said. “We normally give a set of nets to the guy that is ‘the most valuable player’ of the game. But we cut it up into eight pieces tonight because each one of them deserved it. Everybody contributed tonight.”

“It makes a difference. I was playing games. A lot of guys worked out and worked out hard. But there’s no way to simulate an actual game,” he said. "I’ve been playing now for five months so I definitely feel like I’m in great shape right now.

“It’s allowing me to play these heavy minutes I’m having to play right now because so many guys are out.”

“We’re just trying to get as many wins as possible,” he said. “Early on in the season, I was letting it effect me too much, getting too down [after losses]. I’m just trying to be positive. It’s a tough situation we’re in with all these guys going down, being hurt. I have to take it upon myself as the leader of this team to step up and make plays on both ends of the court.”

“We’re just playing a lot better together,” he said. “Early on there was no continuity, no consistency from anywhere. We weren’t playing good basketball. Now we’re starting to get comfortable with each other and making basketball plays. Things are coming a lot easier.”

“That was very big,” D-Will said. “They were doubling me at the end of the game and he made a great basketball play, saw the back of a defender’s head and cut to the basket. He made a great play. I knew we were going to need [Keith] tonight, especially once AmMo (Anthony Morrow) went down. We knew he was going to have to play some minutes for us tonight. But he came in in great shape. He’s ready to go. He’s been working out so I wasn’t surprised at all.”

If not, he can go to the Heat or Bulls and get the ring he deserves.
