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.
We have enough on this team to win games. We just have to go out and do it.
We hope there is an easier way of course, but when you're winning games like this and come back, it always builds character and it always gives you confidence knowing you can come back. At the same time, you don't want to get into a habit of spotting a team 15 points and saying 'alright, let's go now.
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.
It's great to win against probably the hottest team in the NBA. The game was very competitive and no one was going to back down from anyone.
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.
This win is important for our confidence. Any game where we're down, we can always look back to this game and know that we did it against a good team and can pull it out.
We've got enough firepower to win without him. If one person goes down, the other guys have to step up.
One night I'm going to have a big night scoring; some nights I'm going to have a big night doing other things. Just doing whatever it takes to win the ballgame, not necessarily sitting up here worrying about scoring 30 points.
Growing up, I always dreamed of winning an NBA championship, never a gold. A gold was something that never crossed my mind.
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.
Another win Wednesday will make us feel great about the way we're playing.
Anytime you get a win you're happy with it and you try to learn from it.
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.
