We have some good moments and some bad moments, but it's not like we are playing bad. We missed Tony tonight but we played well tonight when we had to.
We know they've changed and their offense has a whole new look to it. With us, we're the same. They'll know all our plays. But we'll be out there looking at them and saying, what's that they're doing here? What's this play? Why are they doing that? That's a big challenge.
If they had about 20 more games in the season, you know they'd be in the playoffs. Shoot, if they started the season all over, they might end up with the No.2 seed (in the East).
Nothing against Tony, but there's other guys playing great. Tracy (McGrady) has to be there. It's in Houston. And then you got Kobe and Ray Allen. He's just got some stiff competition.
She's good. At first a lot of guys challenged her on calls, like 'Come on,' but she stood up for herself. That says a lot about her. Guys respect her. ... She doesn't back down from anybody.
More days off helps me out more now than in the past. Then I wanted to practice so I could keep everything working, mechanically and skills-wise. Now I really like the days off. But we needed to work on some things, especially our rebounding and boxing out. So it was good to get back to work.
When you burn a bridge sometimes -- it doesn't matter if it's a significant player on a team, especially a significant player like Kobe -- you might say let bygones be bygones, (but) there's always that underlying, 'Oh, you talked about me,' Me personally, I don't think it'll work out. But who knows? Crazier things have happened.
You have a lot of guys who came back after injuries like that, they're good but they're not as good as when they left.
You have to get into the right mind-set. It took me forever when I first started coming off the bench. You have to learn how to stay loose and stay warm. It was tough for me at first. You become used to it. Just like old hat after a while.
We like that. There's not one guy on this team who loves the spotlight. So it's fine. We like it that way just fine.
I told some of the coaches at practice the other day that my biggest pet peeve is when, as soon as the other team goes small, it seems like you've got to change (the lineup). Give your big guys a chance first.
For a big man to throw it in, you know it's just your night. Personally, I hate to blow a team out because that fuels their fire. It's like somebody slapping you in your face, and you want to get 'em back.
Oh, look at this right here, maybe I should put this one up and win this game!
It's a lot easier to get in a rhythm if you're playing minutes.
