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.
It's out of our control, so we've got to go out and make the most of what we have and not worry about the piece we're missing. We'll try to build our team and hopefully be a better team when he returns.
I've been lucky enough to play on NBA teams I really enjoy, teams where I've liked everybody and had fun, and had that college kind of experience with an NBA team. When you have that, and I don't know that everyone does, but when I've had it, that's what it's all about.
A lot of teams in that situation wouldn't fight through it.
Anytime people step up at the end of games to close teams out, that's the sign of a good team. We had a couple of guys who made some big plays and made us a winner tonight.
I'm very excited about that, ... He's a great player, a great teammate and a great guy.
I am thrilled to be an Olympian, and I think that although we will be underdogs we can beat many teams and will be a surprise in Sydney.
It's important for us, if we're going to be a good team, to be a good defensive team in the fourth quarter.
I know the strengths and weaknesses of my teammates. I make my passing decisions accordingly
That's the key to our team. We have so many weapons. You can just pick your poison.
We love playing together and we love adversity. You know, back-to-back, the two best teams in the East.
We play a different style than other teams. It's effective, but different. We run the floor, block shots and create turnovers.
I think you can get too focused on the championship and forget how rewarding it is to be part of a team.
My best memories are because I was on teams I love - even going back to being a kid. Not just in the NBA.
