Always stay true to yourself. Some people will like it, some people won't. Life goes on.
Nobody should expect more of you than you expect of yourself.
Every Morning You Have Two Choices: Continue To Sleep With Your Dreams, Or Wake Up and Chase Them.
I believe that you should put the right people around you, people that will not let anything go wrong.
I'm not going to sit out. We've only got eight people as it is.
I'm feeling really good about our chances in the series. Me knowing how much fight I have in me and how much fight we have as a team. We always rebound. We're not going to steal Game Two; we're going to earn the win.
I let the team down. We still had a chance to win the game, so of course I think I let the team down. Not just the team, but the whole organization.
I knew they were going to double- team, triple-team me. I was missing shots that I would never miss. Shots that I have to take. Shots around the basket. . . . That was their game plan. They want somebody else to beat them.
I knew that we were down by 14 points and my team needed me out there. Halftime, I told them that it was time for me to wake up and go out there and win the game.
I knew my shot wasn't going in from the outside, so I decided to keep on going to the hole and get some fouls called.
I knew I was going to get a shot up. It was just a matter of what type of shot I was going to get.
The Clippers did a heck of a job packing it in on me, not letting me get to the basket like I wanted to and as I had been doing in the past. They sent every kind of defense a team can send at me these last two games. It got frustrating, especially when you're trying to get back in the game and whatever you do is not working.
You've got a lot of guys who are playing just as well as I am and deserve it.
(The loss) was a wake-up call for us. We can't take nothing for granted right now. These last 10 games, I think you'll see a better focus from the team.
