There are a lot of good teams coming into our house, but it is our home and we need to defend our home.
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.
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.
I approached the game differently by coming out and focusing on getting my teammates the ball. That is something I want to continue to do. I want to open things up and get my teammates the ball. Then I can start looking for my offense.
He told me after the game he wouldn't know how to do it every night because he's tired. That's the kind of play we need, especially coming down the stretch into the playoffs.
Watching him play and watching him talk about the seasons that they had is motivating. I grew up watching it, so to hear the inside scoop of the championships they won and watching him play is a motivation.
We're going to miss Eddie a lot, the defense he brought and the way he chased guys around the court. I want to see who's going to do that.
We have to go up there and try to get the first one.
We're still looking. We hope it will come. If it doesn't come soon, we'll have an early vacation.
We've got it now, you know? We've got what we need to do to win.
We've got enough firepower to win without him. If one person goes down, the other guys have to step up.
We know we're a couple of shots and defensive plays away from being a great team.
We know we can win. That's what we're all here for. . . . This is my third year here and it's like it's my third different team, but we can win.
There is a side of me what wants to go, and there is a side of me that of course wants to win the gold. But there is a side of me that wants to make sure that things are different this time around.
