I want to get out there with my teammates and see how it goes. I'll play as many minutes as I can or as many minutes as coach (Mike Brown) will allow me.
It took us a while to get to know each other, but right now we're at the point where we can close our eyes and know where our teammates are at. That's an excellent thing to have.
I've always been a pass-first type player. But my teammates come to me and tell me to be more aggressive, sometimes be more selfish. And it's kind of hard because that's not my game. But when my teammates ask me to do something like that, I got to take it and run with it.
We didn't trust our teammates as much as we should have in the fourth quarter. If they are going to double-team me, I'm going to give up the ball. We're just not knocking down shots.
I never rushed the fact that I wanted to be in the NBA or rushed the fact, you know, they asked me about the NBA. I always (unintelligible) back to the fact that I just love playing with my teammates.
I love seeing my teammates succeed. That's what I get more excited about than anything
Your teammates give you the confidence. They give me the confidence all year, all postseason.
I love sharing the ball with my teammates. I see a lot of things before my teammates see them.
I love the success of my teammates more than my individual achievements. I've just always cared more about that since I started playing.
When you have that respect from your teammates, it makes it a lot more comfortable.
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.
