I was just doing what I do the whole year. I just try to show them the way it is supposed to be done. I don't have to say too much. I just have to remind them once in a while and once I've reminded them, we are off and running. |
I would like to stay here, but ... I know there are going to be some other teams that are going to make me an offer. Maybe Denver. I think George Karl has really respected me even more because of my leadership abilities to get guys to come out and perform the way they are supposed to perform. That makes it so easy for a coach.I'd listen. I owe him that much respect. The Clippers are my first choice. They've got to be fair with me. |
I'd much rather start the playoffs at home. I think everybody in this locker room would prefer the same thing. So we prefer the sixth seed. |
I'll be starting at the one |
I'm an All-Star in my mind. You don't have to have somebody tell you that, to be an All-Star. It doesn't work that way. |
I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do. Since I was a rookie I was groomed to make shots down the stretch. |
I've been saying it all year. It's not surprising me. |
If he said it's a failed experiment, no, it won't be here, if he said it that way. Maybe I won't be here. It's that simple. |
If I do something wrong that he doesn't like, he'll approach me and get it straight. He's not a yeller, but he gets at the cause of problems and fixes them. If you are doing something right, he's going to tell you, and if you're doing something wrong, he's going to tell you. |
It affects me a little bit because I'm used to having the ball 90 percent of the time on the court, but I can't use that as an excuse at all. I've got to find a way. I'm getting shots that I normally make, but they're not going in. I just can't go 1-for-12 and expect us to be successful. |
It was definitely a big win for us. This was a game that we really needed. It would be sweet if we could get the win (Saturday), too. |
It was just precaution, nothing major. We've got a couple of games coming up at home, so I talked with Mike, and took the night off to heal. I'll get two days rest and I'll be ready to play Friday. |
It would be the battle of Hollywood. |
It'll be something brand new to everybody. It's going to be culture shock. |
It'll be something brand new to everybody. It's going to be culture shock. I've talked to everybody, talked to them about what I expect from them and what they're going to get from me. |
