(Karl) just told us management had to make a decision.
I talk to Julius every day. He's just got to be patient. George is going to get on him a lot, but it's for the best. He only wants him to get better. I try to talk to him and tell him to fight through it.
I take this as motivation. It's nothing to be upset about. I can't take away and nobody else can take away what I've done this season.
We match up with them pretty good, despite how the record turned out when we played them throughout the season. I look forward to playing the Clippers. Playoff basketball is a lot of excitement. It's going to be fun, especially in L.A.
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.
For two days, George (Karl) has been constantly stressing that this is a team that we'll be playing against. We kind of wanted to make a statement that if we play you in the playoffs, this is what you're going to see.
For two days George has been stressing that if the playoffs started tomorrow this is the team we would play against. We wanted to make a statement.
For the record, I'm not getting in the car. I can't fit into no Indy car. I'm just excited about the project. I think we're going to have a lot of fun.
That boy got eyes on the front and back and both sides of his head. He got eyes everywhere. He's always playing hard. Only thing I like about him, he looks for his teammates first, then he goes out there. He's not a selfish player. I can play with somebody like that all year long, maybe in the future we can get him out here in Denver.
My team needed me out there to get some things done. At halftime I just told them it's time for me to wake up and just go out there and win the game.
I was trying to set a screen for Andre Miller and just get open. I saw the double team coming and I just tried to beat it and go fast to the basket.
This was a good win for us. We had good aggression in the fourth quarter.
