I've been seeing everything (on defense). It's just another team and another defender.
We should have put them away earlier than we did. For my teammates to step up and hit shots helped me out tonight.
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.
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.

Last year's second-half stretch was incredible. Hopefully we can come together and do the same thing we did last year. I have confidence in me and my team to step it up.
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.
It seems like we always pull a trick out of our bag when we play a top team in the NBA. If we could do that against the lower teams, then we would be in pretty good shape.
It's a great honor. It's a team thing. The team should have gotten Player of the Month.
I told him that we needed each other for this team to be good. I need him, he needs me. We got to make it work. If it don't work between us, it's not going to work on the court. Ever since then, it started clicking.
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.
I saw the double team coming, I tried to beat it and go faster.
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.
