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 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.
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.
That's once in a lifetime right there. There are not many times when Shaq has been on the bench in the fourth quarter.
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.
We have to come back tomorrow. We're a team that never quits, we always fight.
This was an exciting game from beginning to end. Both teams were getting out running and scoring at will.
The playoffs are a different mindset and a different season. Our main goal is to go in healthy and we'll be alright.
We thought Nash was going to knock that down right away.
We're not really looking at teams' records. We just want to come in and get better and we can't relax. This is the NBA.
There is only a relationship between music and sports because all athletes want to be rappers and all rappers want to be athletes.
When I'm designing I try to think about what I like to see on other people.
Places you go in life - it opens your eyes up and you kind of understand who you are.
