Last year we had a team that everybody had a role. If it wasn't me and Shaq scoring, everybody was spotting up, hitting the jumper. The main thing is it just takes time to learn each other, learn the system.
Second chances hurt us. They got a couple of second chance rebounds on us and that was the difference in us making the plays at the end.
Shandon's been on vacation for while, so it's good to see him come back and use his energy. The main thing is to put another body on other guys, and when he does that, it gives me the opportunity to be more aggressive at the other end.
My foot stopped and my leg kept going.
One of the best games we've played so far this year.
Of course me and Shaq will be the main focus of the offense, ... That was successful for us last year and will continue to be successful for us, hopefully.
Of course, from the team we had, I wasn't automatically thrilled, ... I was wondering what went wrong. But you think about the business of the N.B.A. and what we're here to do and you say, 'Jason will be great to run with, Jason will be a great point guard for us.' You move on from what you don't have.
No, not at all. It's not a concern to me.
One thing that was different about tonight is that we executed down the stretch. We did not turn the ball over like we have done in the previous games. We took care of the ball and we executed on offense. We rebounded the ball at the end of the game also.
Maybe he'll dominate more next year than he did this year. ... Hopefully, we won't have this feeling again. Maybe we'll have a feeling of enjoyment after our last game.
I feel good. We have a three-game winning streak and guys are playing good. Shaq and myself are getting into the flow. It is giving us confidence.
We got a couple of guys in foul trouble and Coach continued to rest us and let the reserves come in. They played good, but the Bulls really wanted it.
We go as far as the big guy takes us.
We gave ourselves a chance tonight. We were on our home floor, but they made the plays.
