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.
My hand was bothering me. It was tough for me to shoot the ball. I asked the team to put up the steam a little bit.
It's not important to me at all. I really could care less. It's just out of necessity. The team needs me to do it to get through a tough point in the season. It's all that is, no more, no less.

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.
