Right now, that's the best we can do. We just want to do the best job we can to stay in that position, not to be content with only being in that spot, but taking our game to another level, because playoff basketball is totally different.

He (Mourning) came in there in that fourth quarter for about a four or five minute stretch where his intensity and his energy were more hurtful than anything. Not only did it energize the crowd, but it energized the other players on his team.

add best came crowd fans favor five harlem hopefully knowing missed pull shooting shots swing tricks
When I first came to Cleveland, everyone said I would add shooting to the mix. I missed my first five shots (Thursday), so I had to get the crowd into it the best way I can. So I had to pull out my Harlem Globetrotters tricks and hopefully I can swing the fans back in my favor knowing that I can make shots.

Hopefully, the critics will get off (James') back now. It was good for it to happen now going into the playoffs.

He's an inspiration on and off the floor, the way he carries himself. He's been a professional all year long. He's been (criticized), even though he's scoring 30-some points a night, people are still not satisfied. Because of it, he's prepared his team for the playoffs. I want to see what the kid is capable of.

His intensity hurt us more than anything. Not only did it energize the crowd, but it energized the other players on his team.

I never thought I'd get booed here. Anything is possible. I hope not. You never know how they perceive the reason why I left. I'm not even nervous about the actual game. When I check into the game, I'm worried about their reaction.
