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.
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.
As a team, we didn't forget about him. Probably the fans and somebody else forgot about him.
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.
