Andray Blatche guarantees Game 6 victory for the Nets because...why wouldn't he?

The Brooklyn Nets are down 3-2 in their first round playoff series against the Toronto Raptors, which means if they lose on Friday night, in Game 6 of their 7-game series, the Nets stay home and the season is over. So, when Andray Blatche was asked if he guarantees a Nets win on Friday night, naturally he answered "Yeah, I mean yeah."

Why would he go and do something like guarantee a Game 6 victory? Because that's the only option, at this point.

Details:

Someone asked Andray Blatche if he agrees w Pierce that the Nets will return to Toronto on Sunday. He said yes. What was he supposed to say?

Blatche's guarantee was kind of forced upon him. He didn't really have anywhere to go with it. This Toronto media is so salacious. #nets

From Stefan Bondy of the Daily News:

Andray Blatche was sort of forced into a victory guarantee from the Toronto media, which posed the question something like this: "Paul Pierce said you guys will win (which also was a weak guarantee when it happened after Game 5), are you going to stick with your teammate and guarantee a win?"

Perfect response from Blatche. "Yeah, I mean yeah."

How would you have answered that question, given the situation and the way the question was asked? Would I have guaranteed a victory. Yeah, I mean yeah. How can you not?
