It felt like it was the first game of the season. It was just fun to be back out there and be in the environment and playing with my team and trying to help.
I still have yet to accomplish what I've been trying to do from Day 1.
I think if Yao Ming was on my team, we'd probably have a 100 percent chance of winning an NBA championship.
I think I'm getting better as a basketball player.
I think he had a great camp. I think it's the first year John's playing relaxed and you can tell by what he's doing out there on the basketball court.
We just believed in each other, got defensive stops when we needed them and executed our offense. We were able to make something happen.
We just cracked. We had this game. We're not supposed to lose that one. I would rather get blown out.
You just have to want to do it. I don't know how but I know that it has to be done. I know if we get frustrated and start turning on each other that it is only going to get worse.
We can score on anybody. But we have to focus on defense. They were just outworking us. Everybody has to step up, period, for us to be a better team.
Those guys had their playoffs shirts made up and wanted to wear them after the game. We didn't give them a chance to do that. We had extra incentive to beat them. Now, they have to wear them somewhere else.
I think it would have been good if we could have played all pre-season games together. It will be something we'll have to deal with, something we'll have to fight through.
I think Leon told Mo (76ers coach Maurice Cheeks) that they weren't inviting me.
I thought he played great. He played well in training camp. I'm excited about it. We played well with each other tonight.
Just inconsistent. But the positive part of it all is that the season's not over. (We've) still got a chance to get into the playoffs and start a new season. For us to tank it now would be crazy. (We're) definitely not going to give up. We've got a long way to go.
