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.
We've spoken all year. We all just talk about just trying to lead our team. We're not saying all the way to the finals, but when I say lead our team, that's just going out and doing the right thing, on the court and off the court.
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.
I have a responsibility to lead, in more ways than one, and I take that very seriously.
I've always been a leader. I've always kind of been the tallest person on the team when I was younger but always kind of the smartest. I was ahead of my time. I wasn't always the oldest, I kind of was the youngest on the team, but, I kind of knew what to do at times.
Individual accolades come when your team is successful. It showed (Sunday).
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.
