Our defense got us over the hump. It was one of those games. Boston did a nice job defensively and both teams struggled to score. We stayed with our defense and fought through.
There's no limitations at all. I know there's a lot of concern and interest, but from our perspective, he's 100 percent been cleared. He's ready to go and he's quick as ever.
I've always had a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for the way Toni plays the game. In addition to his solid, veteran presence on the floor, Toni's knowledge and experience will be an invaluable asset to the younger players on our roster.
I don't want to slow it down. With a guard like T.J. Ford, there's no way you can slow it down. I'd like to push it up for 82 games.
It's hard, as much as Rip was holding and grabbing.
It seemed like when they wanted to turn up their defensive pressure, they did. They challenged a lot of our shots, but during that stretch on the offensive end, we had three or four opportunities that didn't go, and they ran the other way with it. The lead went from four to 12 pretty quickly.

And he's worked to become a more consistent shooter, so he's improving at both ends of the court.
The Clippers came out and showed why they have the kind of record they do.
Andrew and Jamaal did a fantastic job of rebounding the ball. Andrew a lot of the time is guarding a smaller player, so he has to chase them around and Jamaal cleaned up every defensive board and that was big. When we didn't turn it over, we were effective at getting it down into the post.

The fundamentals of the game are the same wherever you go: pass, dribble, shoot, defend, rebound, screen, play hard and together
