It's been really tough on him. That's my guy. I love him to death. I know he's struggling because he's a winner. I know more than anybody what he puts into it every day, night in and night out. |
It's been the best thing that ever happened to him at SC. He wasn't in the best shape he could be in. When you have success and you're not working as hard as you can, it can really be a curse because it gives you a false sense of what it takes to be successful. |
It's crazy, man. It just shows that I've come a long way. It's an unbelievable honor to have that opportunity, and really to be in a position to be considered, it's great. I am loving it. |
It's crazy. We had good looks and just couldn't knock them down, and then at the end, when I tried to miss the free throw, because we didn't have any time-outs and I knew we'd have to go full-court, I end up making it. It was crazy. |
It's going to be a good opportunity to play against the other best team in the league. It's always good and fun to have games like this. |
It's going to be a playoff game on (today), no question about it. |
It's great because we're no longer looking over our shoulders if somebody thinks we're taking a bad shot. There's been a lot more freedom. |
It's hard to buy gifts for people who have everything. |
It's just always fun to play against this team and the other top teams in the league. That's really the only motivation you've got. |
It's just another game, really. I mean, it's Christmas and that's a little more fun, playing a big game on TV. Other than that, it's early. I just want to be playing that team in June. |
It's just another game. They might look at it as something more than it really is. They had struggled against the good teams, and now they beat the best team in the league. So I am sure they are proud. They should be. |
It's not like a switch that I turn on (in the NBA Finals). I just want to be aggressive. The shots were going down for me. |
It's nothing. Nothing really, just trying to win. |
It's probably just being a little over-confident. |
It's really not fair right now to compare [coaches], ... I had the two best years of my life with Larry. We're going to miss him, but at the same time we're happy to have somebody like Flip who we think can make us better. |
