Nine times out of 10, I'm playing Friday. |
Obviously, it's bad if I couldn't return. I just had problems walking. I knew I couldn't do any running. |
Obviously, it's bad if I couldn't return. I'll just get the MRI and see what it really is... I had problems walking, so I knew I couldn't do any running. I couldn't go. It's real swollen and sore. |
Once they made one breakdown, they left me open, and I got a good look at it. |
Once you get away and come back, you're ready to go. But knowing it's a fresh start, like a new season; we're taking it one game at a time. |
Our problem is not on offense. Our problem is defense, and until we realize that, we're going to struggle. If we figure it out and understand that we need to play [together] on the defensive end, then we'll get a lot better. |
Saying something won't mean anything. We're gonna have to do it. I can't tell you anything that's gonna make you feel like we can turn it around. All I can do is believe in that and realize we're still alive. We still have a chance to make it into another season, and that's the most important part of all of it. |
She was laying on the floor and she'd be having her arm around me. |
Steve set the tone for them and everyone else just followed. |
That is just something that I don't deal with. You may not think about it as much, but it is something that you must think about because if guys have families here and maybe have to get up and just leave. It would be tough, so it's something to think about. It is part of the business and you just have to deal with it as a professional. |
That was my fault. Basically it was just good defense and I made a bad play. |
That was my fault. Obviously, [Anthony Johnson] played good defense. I was looking to go right. He cut me off and got up on me really close, and I had to give it up. Basically, it was good defense and I made a bad play. |
That's something we expect from Dre every night, ... We know he has the ability to shut people down. |
That's what it is all about, coming in and playing a game like it is your last. That's what we did. We fought on the defensive end, we fought trying to get rebounds, and we let the offense take care of itself. |
The first appearance is always going to be the most memorable. This one is special because I'm 30 years old and you hear all the negative things about your game declining and at this point you should be breaking down. I still go out and play hard every night and give it my all. I guess the fans recognize that because they put me in the All-Star game. |
