Paper doesn't mean anything to us. It's about going out there and playing together. It's about chemistry and people accepting roles. More talent doesn't always mean you're a better team.
We have to throw a lot of bodies out there on the back-to-backs. We have to have a lot of people perform. It was absolutely a big win, but this start looked like it was going the wrong way.
That's a tough situation, but it is how it is set up and people are going to have to play for it. We're going to try to play and play for that No. 1 spot and try to work it from there.
I'm surrounded by nothing but great people. I've been blessed with that, so really, I've got no choice but to be an all-around good person.
I am who I am because of the people who I grew up with and where I'm from.
I enjoy jokes, smiling, and making people smile. I may be a little different, but that's OK, who wants to be normal anyway?
I'm just trying to find ways to be more effective right now. I am trying to get a spring back in my step. I am trying to attack the offensive boards and do whatever it takes to get going.
It was just a long night. Things happen, the season happens. Those guys played well tonight; give them credit, ... We compounded them playing well with myself playing very, very badly.
It was great to have him back on the floor. It has been tough for him to not be out there. He is going to get back into it.
On behalf of the Spurs organization and my teammates, I'd like to thank you for your continued support year in and year out. We've had some good times and we'd like to bring another championship back to San Antonio.
Not only does he have an impact directly, but I think it's filtered through the team.
I made a shot or two early, and my confidence kind of blossomed from there. I just kind of held it throughout the game.
I haven't been around him in so long, not for anything other than our paths just haven't crossed. It was great to have some time ... and talk about old times.
It was a good night all around. We moved the ball well. We got a lot of guys a lot of minutes.
