I was running the court very well, getting the ball and making the aggressive move. I'm still missing two or three jump hooks that I don't usually miss. I'll get it back.
That's the first time in history somebody has four offensive fouls before he has a defensive foul. They just need to be consistent in how they call the game. And it all starts at the top, when you got a guy like Stu Jackson running stuff, it's obvious why the referees are the way they are.
I'm the NBA's best NFL player, and I've always been the sexiest 7-footer in the NBA - for 12 years running.
We're the most experienced team in the league. I think we got a little too happy, running our mouths, jumping up and down, looking at the Heat dancers and all of that stuff. We had to step it up and show them what we're all about.
If you've got a Corvette that runs into a brick wall, you know what's going to happen. He's a Corvette. I'm a brick wall.
When you've got a guy that's going to look for you, you run. A lot of people think I can't run, but my thing was I wasn't going to be running if you're not going to throw it. I know Nash will throw it.
I'm going to practice Tuesday and see how hard I can go, and the true test is always the next day after that. We'll just wait until Tuesday and then we'll just see what happens.
I'm just doing what I've been taught by my parents to do, ... This is the right thing to do, and I'm trying to urge other people to do it.
I had to apologize to the coach and the team. It was a terrible performance by me.
It's very, very frustrating. But we still had our opportunities to win the game. We just made too many mistakes, mistakes you can't make in this building.
I want to congratulate Phil on returning to coach the Lakers. He is one of the premier coaches. I wish him the very best.

They have rules that they write down. I just want them to enforce them consistently . Like I know, I got tackled under the basket. If I had done that, they would have given me a flagrant foul.
We just need to develop some type of consistency.
