It's an honor. It's tough enough just to make an All-Star team, but when you're able to be a starter, it just says a lot about being pretty much one of the faces of the NBA because the fans pick you.
It's all mostly effort when it comes to this game. Maybe some of the younger guys don't have that sense of urgency we obviously need to win basketball games. I think as far as talent we have enough to get over the hump.
We tried it different ways in the first half of the season and now we just have to do it the way Mo Cheeks wants it done every night.
We didn't take care of it. We just struggled handling the ball.
We're going to need team efforts, we're going to need each other down the stretch. With 29 games to go, we've got to win more than half of those to give us a better seed in the playoffs. We don't want to settle for the eighth spot. We want to try and get as high as we can.
We're going to need team efforts and we need each other down the stretch.
We're just happy, ... We wanted to win this game so bad. I've got to take my hat off to my teammates. They played big. They really picked me up tonight.
We have to get it done, that's no excuse.
We are looking forward to trying to get in the playoffs and make something happen. It's all a matter of confidence and we have that now. We can still make the playoffs, it's all up to us.
We stopped doing the things that got us the lead, both offensively and defensively. You can feel it. You're not getting easy shots anymore.
We knew we were going to be short-handed, being that Chris wasn't playing, and other guys stepped up and played big for us.
I would rather win than have good sportsmanship.
I was the bridge between the Michael Jordan era and LeBron James era.
I don't care. I feel like if we don't make a trade, we have to get it done with what we've got.
