We just fell right in line with what we are supposed to do. Lamar is such a great facilitator, he takes a load off of my shoulders. I can just focus on putting the ball in the basket and he becomes the facilitator for our team.
I think it's great. You know, just putting the past behind us, just move on. We had three great years together. I think it was important for the fans to see. It was good for us to be able to put this behind us and move on.
I think you have to represent your city and your organization. Tracy's been a good friend of mine for a long, long time, and I look forward to him putting on a good show.

He has been solid for us all year. Now he's putting points on the board, which is very popular with the people.
You look for Tracy and you make sure you take care of him. Tracy has been a good friend of mine for a long, long time, and I look forward to him putting on a good show.
This was a must win for us. We played well the entire trip, but it's just that we weren't able to close things out. Tonight was a win that we desperately needed.
We didn't execute. Tonight they stepped up their pressure.
This weekend is smooth for me. I'm looking forward to competing with these guys, getting out there on the floor and competing and trying to raise the game for all of us.
We want to go into the road trip playing with some momentum, playing with some kind of rhythm.
We knew it was a big game. Especially playing them in this city. We needed this win.
You guys can go in there anytime. Crack open a book. Expand your imagination and read and learn because that is truly the key to success. The more you know, the more power you gain.
You guys are going to make your own assessment. I'm not going to comment. We're going to move on and win games. Shaq and I are going to move on and be teammates and win another championship.
We got some pretty good looks down the stretch, ... They didn't go down for us.
