I've been saying all along that eventually it will happen (the triple-double) and thankfully, we got a win tonight to go along with it.
This is the Mecca of basketball, New York City. You can't hope to play well at a better place than this.
Everyone I meet seems to have season tickets.
They compare us so much. You hear an analyst saying I'm better than him, and another saying he's better than me. You take that in because that's my competitive nature.
They beat us from start to finish. They came out aggressive and we were back on our heels.
It's a great time just to get away for a little while and give my shoulder and my ribs time to heal.
They know if they want the ball from me, be nice.
This is huge for our confidence. We're in a tough situation right now where we are trying to fight for the eighth spot in the playoffs. We knew we had Detroit coming up so we really needed this one.
He plays real low to the floor and (is) able to change directions all the time and keep you off balance. The thing that makes him so diverse is he's able to score, but at the same time, he's a pure point guard. He can find his teammates and make the right pass.
It'll be my first opportunity to play in New Orleans. I'm excited to get there and show the fans of New Orleans that we still play for them. Plus it's a huge game for us; the Lakers are fighting for a playoff spot, so we need to pick it up and sneak out with a win.
It just seemed like we were scoring and they were scoring, we were scoring and they were scoring. And it can't be like that. We realize that we can score at times at will, but at the same time they were scoring every time.
It was a big win for us. We have Miami coming in on Wednesday, and we lost two in a row.
The least we could do is go out and play as hard as we can. We feel like we owe a lot to this city and the state of Oklahoma for accepting us.
