It's embarrassing. You can't get embarrassed on your home court like that. You have to play with some pride and some intensity. We came out in the third quarter with a sense of urgency, but you've got to start the ballgame off like that.
More Quotes from Elton Brand:
If we had led all the way and let them steal it at the end, it would have seemed like some of last year's woes, ... You don't want to make a big deal out of three games, but it is a great start.Elton Brand

They really hurt us in that second quarter. We kind of played their tempo a little bit. You've got to make shots against this team so they have to take the ball out of bounds so they can't outrun us.
Elton Brand
The NBA is the best job in the world, ... and you have to look good in business.
