I made a promise to him that in '06 I would come back (to the gym) at night. I've got to keep that promise.
Not really. I can see if it was a couple of years ago (when there wasn't as much West forward depth). I understand now there's a lot to people at my position.
After this road trip, I think it will say a lot about us and where we stand.
Shawn Marion overplayed it, he reached, and once I saw that, I knew I had a clear shot at the basket once I got my feet set. I wanted to win, even before I got my face smacked. Then I got energy from that, even though Eddie did it.
I'm not going to sit out. We've only got eight people as it is.
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.
I'm more concerned by the way we came out sluggish. It was a good win.
I'm just playing my game and not worrying about who we're playing against. It's nice to come home and show the fans what we've been doing on the road. We've been playing well, especially the past eight games or so.
I'm just happy we won. I'm glad my teammates have confidence in me to get me the ball down the stretch.
I'm just excited about the project. I think that we are going to have a lot of fun to come.
I just hope my involvement brings a wider fan-base and more interest to an already exciting and fun sport.
