Sometimes (the padding) doesn't even work - depending on who (hits) it. |
That boy got eyes on the front and back and both sides of his head. He got eyes everywhere. He's always playing hard. Only thing I like about him, he looks for his teammates first, then he goes out there. He's not a selfish player. I can play with somebody like that all year long, maybe in the future we can get him out here in Denver. |
That was a good block, good defense. He was doing that all night. Actually, he's been doing that all year. |
That was real good. That was probably the best thing that happened (Saturday). Seeing the kid. |
That's probably one of the best games I've played in. That's a good memory. |
That's something he does every night. They've got shooters out there who can knock down open shots, and he put them in a great position to hit shots. |
That's what I want to be known for — at the end of the game, winning games when it counts. That's what separates a lot of people. |
The best team won this series. |
The Clippers did a heck of a job packing it in on me, not letting me get to the basket like I wanted to and as I had been doing in the past. They sent every kind of defense a team can send at me these last two games. It got frustrating, especially when you're trying to get back in the game and whatever you do is not working. |
The new guys bring energy, intensity and emotion. The last couple games, they showed what they can bring to the team. |
The past two days, George (coach George Karl ) has been stressing that if the playoffs were today, this is who we'd play. We wanted to make a statement right away and tell them this is what they'll see if they play us. |
The whole series was kind of an embarrassing moment. They didn't just beat us by two or three points in the games they won. They beat us by, like, 20. That's embarrassing. |
There was no way I could have taken the final shot tonight. They had three people right there, and Earl Watson was wide open. |
They are scaring a whole lot of teams. |
They kept hitting me in the side of the ribs. Just in the heat of battle. I twisted it (in the third), and then I twisted it again. I wanted to come out, but I didn't want to come out. We were trying to make a run. |
