The way he's coached us the first week of training camp and now in the preseason has been great. He has a lot of pressure because he's a rookie head coach, but we don't look at him like that. He's been on championship teams his whole life and he's going to bring that same intensity to us.
This game had playoff intensity and it was good to see us respond.
Coming off a back-to-back after a big win against Indiana, it was easy for us not to bring the intensity tonight. You can't win a big game like that and then lose a game like this.
It's about having intensity and playing at both ends for as close to 48 minutes as possible. You really can't put in a good game plan against a great team, you just have to go out and play.
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.
It was great to be out there with a good friend.
It was hard for me to adjust to Larry being out there because it's been so long. But wow, what a break for our team to get him back as we're getting ready for the playoffs.
