It's going to motivate us. We hear a lot of stuff, they want to play us and things like that, and we take that as motivation.
It seems like we always pull a trick out of our bag when we play a top team in the NBA. If we could do that against the lower teams, then we would be in pretty good shape.
It's a sad story. That would surprise anybody when you hear something like that, especially as one of your peers in the NBA. We've already got a bad rap. The NBA as a whole, we've got a bad rap.
It's a special day to be playing on. I can pay my respect to the man. I dedicate the game to him.
It's a big loss. In my eyes, he's the Defensive Player of the Year.
I took that as motivation. Anything that happens, I'll take it as motivation.
I wanted to play. (But) it's nothing I can be upset about.
It's a wonderful feeling. You know, this is another positive thing I can put on my resume. It's a great feeling coming out here on my home court and getting MVP of the Rookie-sophomore Game.
It's a great honor. It's a team thing. The team should have gotten Player of the Month.
I told him that we needed each other for this team to be good. I need him, he needs me. We got to make it work. If it don't work between us, it's not going to work on the court. Ever since then, it started clicking.
It's an underground DVD, but it just happens to be the hottest- selling DVD on eBay. The T-shirts are selling like pancakes. Stop Snitching T-shirts are everywhere.
We ran pretty well (Monday night). I don't think we ran as well as we wanted to. But we ran pretty well.
We let three slip away. That's over. That's behind us. We know this is a new year. New goals. New attitudes.
We knew they were going to make a run, we weren't going to be able to keep a (big) lead on them. They made a run, they made a big run in the third, but we kept our composure.
