(The All-Star Game is) over and done with. We have to come in (tonight) and concentrate on Orlando. We've been (above .500) a couple times this year. We haven't been 11 or 12 games (over .500). It's time to make a run. We have a different mindset from last year.
Tonight was a big effort. We executed all through the game even when the reserves came in the last eight minutes. Those guys executed.
That's something we didn't have last year: a guy that can spread the floor and open the lane for me and Z. You see how open the lane is for me and Z now.
It comes down to executing and putting the ball in the hole. We didn't do that the last seven, eight minutes.
We want to be an elite team and we have to learn how. The feeling I had last year at this time is totally different. It is a whole different environment this year. He (Brown) knows what I want from the team and I know what he wants.
They're like those things guys used in high school. I hope it's the last we see of them.
Coming off a back-to-back, with a big win last night against Indiana, it would have been easy for us to not bring intensity. Early on, our team didn't have intensity. I saw that and I had to pretty much take over matters. I've been able to take my team on my back.
We made some good stops and we contested their shots. I think last time we played them they shot around 60 percent. W were able to contest those shots and we were able to attack and get a lead and we didn't let go.
His last three shots were just amazing. The guy was shooting shots like he was the only person in this arena. He has been through this before - he has (championship) rings.
The best thing that ever happened to me was losing last year in the Finals. I had to change.
I treated it like every day was my last day with a basketball.
We just made the big play at the end. We just willed a way to win. This was one of the wildest games, especially on the road. But I love it. Being on the road, you got the fans against you and we found a way to win. It was awesome.
We got stops and made shots when it counted. When you hold a team to 38 percent from the field you give yourself a pretty good chance of winning.
We are very confident. We are winning ball games...We are playing well defensively and we are executing our offense. We feel very confident and we have to keep it going.
