That's the secret to success -- not worrying only about what's going to happen in the future, trying to work only on the stuff you can work on in the present.
We can't let losing stop us from believing. We're a work in progress.
We'll figure this out. We'll make it work in the future.
You know hard work will eventually show up for our team and I think that's what the case is now.
I've got some work to do. We all do. We've got some time. This will be a good team. We've just got to get it all together.
I hated that perception that I didn't work hard, that I really don't love basketball.
Coming out of high school, I think it was good for me instead of going to college because college and the NBA are two different things. You can dominate on the college level, but the NBA is a whole different story. The dudes that do the best are the ones who work hard.
I'll joke all day, but once I get in the gym, I'm going to work hard.

This win was real big. Coach ( Brian Hill ) said that we have three teams coming up with Miami (April 9), Dallas and San Antonio (April 13) and we wanted to get all three teams.
We held Sacramento to nine points in the third quarter.
