We had a great team this year. A lot of people talked about us being good next year, but we thought we could make a run deep in the tournament this year, so it's tough to take.
The third quarter did us in once again. We gave up 33 points in the third, and we couldn't get a rebound late in the game. Seventy-nine games into the season, we should have learned to adjust by now. It's a tough loss, but we have to keep playing hard because you don't what is going to happen.
Incredible. It was really tough to lose this one. The fans went above and beyond and were really motivated to help us. Our team is still part of New Orleans. We've still got New Orleans on our jerseys.
It was a tough game. Golden State gave us a run for our money once again, just like last week. We're just happy we could pull it out.
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.
When you find yourself down 21 after one half, that's a pretty big hill to come back from. However, I felt our kids battled all the way to the end and never gave in. The score ends up a little closer than it should have been, but that's a credit to our kids not giving up.
We're young. We like to run. J.R. and those guys, they want to dunk and I want to see 'em dunk. So it works out great.
I don't care what anybody says, there's nothing like the cultural influence of hip-hop. For me, hip-hop culture is involved in everything - it's in me, in who I am, in how I dress, how I talk. It's in my son and my wife.
I realize that I'm not going to be doing interviews for the cover of 'GQ' for the rest of my life, know what I mean? I'm on TV because I play basketball really well.
Most of the time, if you ask a kid who's their best friend, it's usually a classmate or their neighbor or something, but for me, it was my granddad. Everybody knew him - they called him Mr. Jones.
I love people. I hate to be by myself.
From day one, since I was traded to the Clippers, the team has been amazing to not only me, but to my family.
I'm a little brother. I've always been small. People have said I have a Napoleon complex. But I've always had to fight for everything that I have.
In everything I've done, I always just hated to lose more than I like to win.
