I'm proud of us. We came back and played hard. We got into a big hole in the first quarter but we were able to fight back. Late in the fourth quarter, we were able to make a push and give ourselves an opportunity to win the game. Both teams played hard, it's a shame somebody had to lose. |
I'm very excited, man, very excited. I'm excited to be an Olympian, to represent our country. I've been looking forward to this. |
I'm very happy for the city. The city is used to championships and I am as well. |
I've been double-teamed like I was tonight before, so that's nothing we haven't seen. But I'm beginning to think that this is the formula for playing us, and other guys are just going to have to step up and make their shots. |
I've been in a lot of playoff battles but never had one quite like this. We had our backs against the wall and we were seemingly out of it. |
I've got bigger fish to fry than Raja Bell. Are you kidding? |
I've got to do what I've got to do. I don't really care whether it's 50 shots, 60 shots or five shots. I've got to do what I have to do to help us win. |
I've played sick before. I've played sicker than this. It's kind of old hat for me. You've just got to use your energy more wisely, play a more cerebral game. You have to pick your spots. |
I've pretty much done all I can here and, you know, God will carry me the rest of the way, so I'm pretty comfortable with that. |
If Lamar plays like that in the playoffs, it will make us very difficult to beat. When he is taking his shots in rhythm, he is a handful. |
If Phil and Tex feel like making a change would be better for the team, that's what we will do. We trust them wholeheartedly. |
If this is a formula that's going to carry us the rest of the season, I don't know. It's a pretty good formula for us. We'll see if we can keep it going. |
If we're in a situation where I need to put points on the board, then I'll do it. |
If we're in a situation where I need to put points on the board, then I'll do it. I really do it on a needed basis. I don't do it just to do it. I don't try to go into a game saying, 'this is what I'm going to do.' We've had a couple games where my teammates were struggling shooting the ball. Then I take it over. |
If you hear (evacuees) talk on television, it seems that they have a feeling on top of the emotional devastation that they're on an island by themselves, ... As Americans, we rally around our people. We're going (to Houston) to let them know that we care for them and will be there to support them. |
