Our team needed me out there to get some things done on the offensive end and the defensive end. At halftime, I just told (the team) it's time for me to wake up.
We were holding it down on the defensive end. To know that we can do that without him, just imagine what we can do with him when he gets back.
Both have given us a lot of intensity. Especially with Reggie coming off the bench. Reggie gives us energy and defensive pressure down low.
It's a big loss. In my eyes, he's the Defensive Player of the Year.
On the defensive end, they really turned up the pressure on us.
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.
We knew they were going to make a run but we kept our composure and finished off the game. It was a great game out there.
We ran pretty well (Monday night). I don't think we ran as well as we wanted to. But we ran pretty well.
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 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.
Last year I showed people a little of what I can do. I didn't give them the whole shebang.
