It's not real hard to play with Kurt.
I want my kids to have passion for life, to really have a passion for life. I think when you have a passion for something, you can overcome obstacles, if you float through life without having anything to hold on to or get you fired up emotionally and to focus on, I think it's really hard to overcome things.
A lot of guys shot the ball well, and I thought we played extremely hard defensively even though they made a lot of shots. It was a pretty solid performance.
The fans in Dallas were hard on me my first year, but after having a great year last year they are now supporting me. It feels great to have my hard work pay off, especially when the fans made it hard for me.

My approach has been that a player with determination and a willingness to work harder than anyone else can accomplish anything. It's a simple formula. I've found it works.
It would be nice if we were up 3-2. But, at least we can go to LA and let it all hang out.
Raja and Kurt are always there for us, physically and mentally. They always make it difficult for the other team and always give us a chance to win.
Besides P.E., geography was my best class in high school. I was in this gifted class when I was younger, and it was wicked!
We played pretty well tonight. They made some phenomenal shots in the fourth quarter. At some point, you've just got to congratulate them.
I thought he really was great at being in the paint, knowing when to finish, when to pump fake, when to pass. He made the right decisions. It's really difficult to guard him when he makes those decisions.
We haven't really clicked. That's frustrating. But our defense has really picked up.
We haven't played well offensively. We haven't really clicked, and that's frustrating, but at the same time our defense has really picked up, and given us an opportunity to win in all three of our losses.
Obviously, I'm going to miss Joe a lot. He wanted to try something else. What can you say? You wish him the best.
