I feel good right now. It feels about 85 percent now and that's good enough to play without hurting the team.
Losing a basketball game hurts but when you see what you've been through, you look on it and say well if this is the worst thing that can happen to me, then I'm okay.
Well, of course you question it, especially when you get to this point. I always look at it would I rather not make the playoffs or lose in The Finals? I don't know. I don't know. I've missed the playoffs twice. I lost in The Finals four times. I'm almost starting to be like I'd rather not even make the playoffs than to lose in The Finals. It would hurt a lot easier if I just didn't make the playoffs and I didn't have a shot at it.
It would be easier if I didn't even make the playoffs, it would hurt less. But then I start thinking about how much fun it is.
Once you squeeze toothpaste out, you can't put it back into the tube. The same is true with our words. Once we say something hurtful, we can't take it back
I'm a guy who tries to be successful in all that I do, and when you fall short, it hurts.
Individual accolades come when your team is successful. It showed (Sunday).
I know that hard fouls are going to happen. They've been reading up on the clippings about me leading the league in 'and-ones', so they did a good job of trying to foul me before I got the ball up. That's just playoff basketball. I've always said that I could take those hits. All in all, the Wizards did a great job of coming in here and beating us.
I knew this was going to be a great game. We just made the best plays at the end of the game.
I knew I had to be aggressive. This was an important game. What's awesome is that we won the season series and have done a great job in our division.
It's sprained pretty good, but nothing serious. You never really know until the next day, but I've had them before, and this is nothing that bad.
Eight years is a long time. To experience that in his first year and then wait another eight years to get back, it's tough for him. You have to feel excited for him. It's awesome.
The atmosphere was unbelievable. This must be what playoff basketball is all about.
The atmosphere and the fans were unbelievable. With the towels waving and the excitement, it was easy to keep my energy high, even though I've been battling a cold. Yeah, the crowd was excellent.
