When a guy's 6-8, raises as high as he does and fades on his shot, you just try to do the best that you can to put a hand in his face. He made big shots for them.
We lost a great teammate. But I was also excited because the guys coming in can help us get to where we need to go, and that's to win a championship.
We don't want injuries, especially to our best player, ... We just hope he can come back real soon. He's a big guy and anytime he gets injured it's a lot of weight that goes down on his knee, ankle or whatever he hurt.
I've talked to him a couple of times. It has always been short, but it's always been good things. He always told me to keep playing the way I play and to continue to carry myself the way I carry myself. I heard through the grapevine that one of the players in the NBA he likes to watch is me. That's a great thing.
I've only scratched the surface of where I want to be in my career, ... And I know one thing, I haven't won anything yet so there's a lot more I can do there. But I'm going to continue to get better and do what I can to help my team be the best it can possibly be.
It was an ugly and painful game to watch.
Converse has history. I want to be part of what comes next.
Every time we play them, it's a rough game.
Every time we got it close, they just seemed to make the play. That is what good teams are supposed to do at home.
Our defense is coming along. We're getting our rotations down. The communication is better. The main this is we're all beginning to understand what everyone is doing.
Our defensive intensity wasn't there like it's been the last three games.
We have enough on this team to win games. We just have to go out and do it.
Everybody knows Shaq and everybody knows that Shaq always says that when the playoffs come, he'll be there. So we weren't really worried. We knew after he missed 18 games that it was going to take him awhile to get back. But I think right now is the right time for this team, that around the break time, he has a chance to get back in shape and get his form back.
Everyone thought it was my knee. I've been getting phone calls. Even my wife thought it was my knee. I didn't even grab my knee.
