He almost carried us to a victory last night, and he did it tonight. He's just playing great basketball right now.
He's one of the great ones, and the great ones make it easy for everybody. When he's rolling, everybody has easy shots and everybody gets the shots they want because they have to gear their defense to stopping him. They have to shift their whole focus.
This is my first time, so I don't know how I would have felt if I made it four years ago as opposed to now. But the road I traveled was much tougher than a lot of these guys to make it to this game. It's special to me either way. It's a special weekend.
All we need to do is be healthy going in (to the playoffs). I don't care what happens Wednesday, as long we're healthy come the weekend, we're fine.
The fourth quarter was kind of fun. It was a shootout.
