Of course it was a disappointment at first, having that as one of my goals at the beginning of the season. But at the end of the day you and everybody else knows how the West was.
It was an ugly win, no doubt about it. But we just kept our composure. We wanted to play hard from beginning to end.
Who wouldn't want to go back home to play?
Of course I want to take the last shot, let's be quite frank: I've been doing for nine years already, and I've made a ton of them.
With the way everything's going now and the way that technology is going, you can do a lot of things with a lot of different new materials.
The NBA's a Fortune 500 company. That's how you look at it. And all the other Fortune 500 companies out there in the world, you don't see their CEOs and COOs going to work with white tees and baggy clothes and stuff like that. So I have to take that same approach.
People look at me like I'm on my way out of the game. I'm just getting started.
We have seven games on the road coming up. If we can win at least five of those games on this trip, it will define us as a team.
We've got to figure it out. Any time we miss a key component to our team like that, out for a lot of games, and he comes back, it's going to be rusty.
We knew that it was a division game and we wanted to win it and we showed that.
To see anybody mess up their knee like that is real tough. I think, not just me, but a lot of people, will have to step up.
We got hot. We started making shots. We can shoot, man.
We're very confident. We have high expectations. Every time we play the Clippers, they are great at adjusting in the second half to what we are doing in the first half. They are also sending two or three people at me every time I touch the ball. That's a sign of respect. They try to mix it up. They play with my head a little.
Every kid has a dream of owning and driving a race car. I have always had a love for cars especially fast cars, and this is a dream come true. I'll stick to driving the basketball lane and let P.J. handle the fast lane.
