The teams that do the best job of putting personal agendas aside are the successful teams. It's not easy. That's why it's hard being a good teammate, but everyone has that choice.
We did a good job of taking away some of their strong points. They (usually) move really well without the ball.
I am all for it. I think it does make my job a lot easier. I have been around long enough; 20 points for me is easy to come by. I have to be more efficient, making sure Swift gets the ball and forcing him to play.
We knew he would get his shots; it's just a matter of making him take tough shots, staying in his face and rebounding his misses. I think we did as good of a job as you can do against him.
We all know what our jobs are, ... That line was crossed. Now fans and players know there are repercussions.
Whose team is this? It's everybody's team. The guys that make this team are the guys that work. I might have a bigger responsibility, but in that responsibility it's my job to serve as much as I'm needed.
As much as I see how he goes about his job, I know the other players are watching me and want the same type of work ethic. I see how much he puts into his job and I see how much I put into this job and so we have to be two positive role models for this team.
I always thought Bob, he seemed like the guy who knew it all. I have no doubt in my mind he has the ability to do the job and do it in a fashion that everybody will be pleased.
Everyone has to do their job. Everyone has to buy into it and believe in what we're trying to do regardless of who's playing and who's not.
The shots were there for me tonight. It was a fun game to play because it went back and forth.
People decide if they want to be led, they'll be led. If they decide they don't want to be part of the system, they'll buck it.
Everything has been very amicable. There just hasn't been any movement, and movement is me signing a contract.
Everything's blurry on the right side. The light getting in it aggravates it.
I wanted someone to say something to knock me off my feet. And I was very disappointed. This organization, I knew what it was all about.
