It was good to see him back in the form of being Shaquille. |
It was nice. He was turning red when he put it over his mouth so I was worried about him a little bit. |
It was on one bunny hop in the lane. When I pulled up, it caught right there. I just kept trying to play. I tried to stay going as long as possible. I'll be alright. |
It's a little sore, as expected. Playing a lot of minutes. I had the ball in my hand a lot, jumping on it a lot. But it's getting better daily. |
It's a side of me that wants to make sure things are different this time around. |
It's a totally different situation. I have other guys on my team. |
It's a very big step for me. |
It's all a win-now philosophy. We've got some old guys on this team. Gary (Payton) ain't got five, six more years left. Shaq ain't got five, six more years left. That is the reason the trade was made. We'd be kidding ourselves if we thought the trade was for us to grow together for the next three years. No, it's not. We understand that. |
It's all about being aggressive. I saw a lot of gaps tonight. |
It's all about getting the win. You can't be good every night. |
It's feeling a little better. I got out there with the guys and moved around a little bit. I plan on playing even though it's a little sore. |
It's going to be hard to try to convince him anyway with a new baby on the way. That's something he has to decide. |
It's good to go right into the All-Star break and relax a little bit and not be worried about where your team is. |
It's great to win against probably the hottest team in the NBA. The game was very competitive and no one was going to back down from anyone. |
It's just a respect factor. It's always going to be Coach Riley because of what he's done as a coach. He's still a coach. |
