It is a physical game and especially in the playoffs it steps up to another degree. It is fun to be a part of those types of games. It is nothing personal.
I think Lamar is a great facilitator in orchestrating the offense a little bit, which frees me up a lot more to attack and do some of the things I've been doing.
I think this was our best game this season. We played very well at both ends of the court consistently. We did a great job containing our energy and when we went to our bench they came in and maintained our energy. We had guys step up consistently and make big plays. That is what we have to do. If we can keep this rolling, we will make a lot of noise.
I'm innocent. I didn't force her to do anything against her will.
That felt good. That's basketball. That's how basketball was in the '80s. You see Isiah Thomas and Magic Johnson standing, talking in the tunnel, and that's basketball.
The arrival of our new daughter ... is such an incredible blessing for me and my family. We are all full of beautiful emotions after such an incredible day.
That was a great class. A lot of great players came out of that draft. I don't think people are fully aware of the talent that came out of that draft.
That's unthinkable. It's pretty exhausting to think about.
I wasn't really looking to attack or to assert myself. I think we had a lot of things we could take advantage of, and we did that. We had them right where we wanted them, just a couple of bounces didn't go our way.
I wasn't even thinking about it. It is what it is. I just move on. I have my team to worry about and getting my guys ready for the game. I just go out there and do what I do.
Whoever we play, it's going to be tough because it's two great teams. We just have to make sure we do our homework and go out there and try to execute.
Ooh, ... you just gave me goose bumps.
It is fun for us as a team to get a win like this. It builds camaraderie and togetherness.
Lamar is such a great facilitator, he takes a load off my shoulders so I don't have to facilitate, I can just focus on putting the ball in the basket.
