You got to talk to the team when plays break down, but nothing close to what (reporter Peter) Vecsey or (TV analyst David) Aldridge said.
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.
I really don't give it that much thought. A lot of people talk about it, and they saw how difficult it is to do. I just go out there and I work hard.
If you hear (evacuees) talk on television, it seems that they have a feeling on top of the emotional devastation that they're on an island by themselves. As Americans, we rally around our people. We're going (to Houston) to let them know that we care for them and will be there to support them.
I love him. I've been fortunate to have sat down and talked with him in the past about basketball things and stuff like that. He's an amazing coach. If he's available to be considered, I'm sure he's one of the guys that Mitch and Dr. Buss would consider.

We got some pretty good looks down the stretch, ... They didn't go down for us.
I've played sick before. I've played sicker than this. It's kind of old hat for me. You've just got to use your energy more wisely, play a more cerebral game. You have to pick your spots.
It was very disappointing so I just try not to think about it too much. I just let it go. Everything happens for a reason, and this for whatever reason is the time for me to be on the team.
