A dis on himself to be sure but with a whiff of "we didn't play D in Jersey, I got some bad habits."
Now that's a much more direct, conscious admission that he didn't play hard here this year than Vince's statement that he didn't work as hard [at improving his game] as he should have. Yet we all know that the only people who will call him a "quitter" and a fraud are a minority of the fans of NJ, certainly not half the national media, like those that head-hunted Vince for a statement not nearly as damning.

Somebody get John Thompson on a plane to Dallas!

Right now, John Thompson is talking to Kidd and Nowitzki on TNT. Haha.
Unfortunately, it's probably not as good as you had hoped.
