I thought we played well enough to win. When you penetrate and pump fake on shots like we did it moves the defense with you. Parker was great tonight like he has been all year.
I got a lot of (grief) for that, too. Trust me, I'm getting my share.
I got a couple of shots to go down tonight, and that is good because they haven't been going down lately. It makes the game a lot easier.
Whatever happens, happens. We'll be ready for whoever we get.
We have to attack down low, especially with Shaq out. That's got to be a big play for us.
He was great tonight. He made all of the shots down the stretch and made some great moves. His play down the stretch was the difference in the game tonight.
He knows his role, and he's sticking to it.
I was looking before the game and I'm like 91/2 years older than him. That is just crazy. (Howard) is just so talented, so developed. He doesn't look like a 19-year-old. He has so much promise and I'm just glad that I will be out of the league when he is peaking.
Just like the good, old days, when I used to make bank shots. Get his name for me. I need to consult with him.
I think it's a great situation for everyone, especially myself. I felt good tonight. I felt like I was moving pretty well and not in a lot of pain, so it was good.
He did a great job on the offensive glass, made some big baskets for them and showed some great touch right around the basket.
He did what he usually does. He affects shots around the basket ... He came out and played with a lot of energy.
What they have done over the last two games is make us react to what they do, ... They have been aggressive defensively and they have got us back on our heels and they make us kind of counter what they are doing instead of them countering what we're doing.
When he gets into a rhythm like that where he starts going, it's like you want to sit there and watch him play. You get caught up in what he does and that's probably the worst thing that we can do is just sit there and watch him play, but you get mesmerized by what he's doing.
