There's times where I felt we've been there. After winning those four in a row you feel like you can run off some, then one or two things happen.
Not only am I confident in that situation, but Shaq has given me that go-ahead to say the fourth quarter is (my) time. When you get that, I don't worry about making a mistake. When I drive and his man comes, then I throw the ball to the rim. As long as I continue to do that, he'll continue to be happy.
I had to pick my spots, more than anything, to get my teammates involved. Then, like Shaq and I always say, the fourth quarter is my time.
That's once in a lifetime right there. There are not many times when Shaq has been on the bench in the fourth quarter.
When Shaq is in the game, I see four (defenders). When he's out, I see five guys.
We didn't come out in the fourth like our usual selves. Most of the time in the fourth, we'll make the right plays. We made some of the wrong plays in the fourth tonight.
I knew it wasn't my night. Coach told me a halftime to keep going. It was just getting into a rhythm.
I know Alonzo was saying that on the bench over and over and over.
I kind of knew I would try to come back. I didn't know how effective I would be because I couldn't feel parts of my leg.
I'm just trying to do what I can to help this team. We'll get back into it. Other guys will get back into the flow. It's a bump in the road.
I'm just trying to do what I can to help this team.
Everybody was calling. I think everybody called every player in the league. That's history right there.
That is what I am battling right now so I am trying to do everything I can to be ready to go for our next game, so I am battling right now.
They just played with more energy than we did. Our team was not as focused on defense as it should be. In the first two games we sent them into our big guys. Today, with Shaq in foul trouble, it was a different story.
