When another team is at home and they've got that rhythm going at the end you never know what can happen.
They really wanted it tonight and it showed. I don't think our team was as focused as we should have been, especially on the defensive end of the floor.
They have the ball 100 percent of the time. They're doing a great job with their pick-and-rolls. It's very tough to guard them.
At halftime, he was really talking about going out and doing it. He came in and showed us the way and everybody else just followed him and kind of got what energy he brought.
At first, I wasn't really too pumped about it. But now as it gets closer, I think it's going to be a challenge.
A little shot in the butt. It started kicking in after a couple minutes out there and I felt good after that.
You probably make about two out of every 10 or 12. That's why it's so satisfying when you make one.
Anybody who comes into Miami, if they sign on the dotted line then they'll understand what we're trying to do here. I have no problem with it at all. He knows we're about winning right now.
Anytime a change is made in the middle of the season, you're going to be shocked, especially with Stan Van Gundy. I've got a tremendous amount of respect for him. To step down the way he did, what can you say about that? ... We were shocked, but at the same time, we've got a game today.
Another win Wednesday will make us feel great about the way we're playing.
The Bulls have no baggage. They're just going out there and they're free and they're just playing the game the way it should be played.
This builds character for a team, ... I'm just happy it happened earlier in the season. Hopefully, this will make us better.
Once you wear something you're comfortable with and you play well, you're going to do it again. I needed a different look personally. Then once I wore it, I liked it. Now I've got Shaq wearing it.
Coach told us to come in and play well on our home floor. Teams that you're supposed to beat, you've got to beat them. That's what we did tonight. At the same time, having a big lead and guys having the opportunity to rest was big also.
