My confidence level is out of this world right now. I feel every shot I put up there is going in.
Now we don't have to put too much pressure on ourselves. It was good to come on the road and get this win. I don't think anybody predicted where we'd be where we are right now in three years. This is one of the stages we've been trying to get to. Now that we're here, we want to move forward and win a playoff series.
Last year's second-half stretch was incredible. Hopefully we can come together and do the same thing we did last year. I have confidence in me and my team to step it up.
We ran pretty well (Monday night). I don't think we ran as well as we wanted to. But we ran pretty well.
I think I brought it on myself. I guaranteed a gold medal (before the Olympics). I'm not doing that this time.
I think in certain situations last year and the year before last I would have tried to take that shot with three people on me. But I've seen even if I don't shoot the ball to win the game, I can win the game by passing it out of a double team.
I think I'm starting to get into a rhythm a little more. I'm focusing more.
It didn't seem like he had 40 points.
I think last night they saw how hard it was for me out there making everything and doing everything and them not coming through. But (Saturday) I think we spread the wealth.
Regardless of who they sent at me, I was going to the hole. We won the game, that's the only thing I'm happy about.
Regardless of who it was, I was going to the hole. They weren't going to stop me that time. I was either going to get a foul or a dunk.
Reggie is a (great) block-out guy and Ruben will go down there and battle. Sometimes, the ball just seems to fall right in my hands.
I think we just came together seeing we were down. We couldn't lose our first game after the (All-Star) break so we had to focus in and we did a good job of that.
I think it was a little bit unfair for me because I didn't know what was going on. For (Brown) to come out and say what he said, he could have at least come to me first.
