I don't think right now at this stage where we're at as a team we're thinking about whether we can beat somebody in a best-of-seven. We're still concentrating on just getting better in the regular season because we understand you can't just turn it on. The good teams play well most of the year, especially late in the year. We're just trying to kick it in for the rest of the season now.
You (the media) might have made him (O'Neal) mad. I think you all lit a fire under him. He's been playing well the last couple of games. We have to find him more. We came out trying to get him the ball early. He led us to victory.
It's just getting familiar with what we're trying to do. I'm sure you'll see better spacing each time in the pre-season.
It was on one bunny hop in the lane. When I pulled up, it caught right there. I just kept trying to play. I tried to stay going as long as possible. I'll be alright.
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.
It's just about getting the ball around the area of the rim. Some guys hit some shots, we all do, that you just throw up and it goes in. But most of the time you're trying to get it around the area of the rim and give it a chance. You never know what can happen if you get it on the backboard.
I had an unbelievable opportunity here to try and follow in similar footsteps [of Michael Jordan], but in a different capacity hopefully. I took that opportunity and I'm excited about it.
I'm just a kid in a candy store right now, trying to have fun. I'm getting a chance to show my ability and my talent.
Shooting is a lost art, but nobody wants to see nobody shoot all day. You want to see somebody break somebody off the dribble. That's today game, and that's what I try to do.
Fashion is more than just how many colors and patterns you can put on at once. Being a great dresser is not necessarily about the colors you put on. It's about putting things together in the right way and then trying different things.
We worked out at the same gym in Chicago, and I was on him the whole summer trying to get him to come down here. He was pretty close, but his decision was to go to the Spurs, and you can't be mad at his decision.
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.
Guys know what they need to do, but at the same time, I think they're still trying to understand what coach Riley wants them to do.
I kept trying to play and kept trying to play, and anytime I bent it, it just, I couldn't go no more. But I think I'll be all right.
