I've been shooting it well from the line this year. I was able to make them. Sometimes they go in and sometimes they don't. When they go in, it makes you look good. |
I've gone through a lot in the last eight years. All the work to put my body in shape to play in the NBA paid off. I was thinking about that when we made the playoffs, but this is hopefully just the first step. This team is good enough to win in the playoffs, too. |
If I do get picked it would be a great honor, but other players are having really good seasons. I think they should take a lot more guys from Detroit than they usually do. Everybody knows Ben Wallace, but they should take at least two more from that team. If that happens, I won't mind getting the rest. |
It's hard to contain a player like him the whole game. Sooner or later, he's going to get rolling. We did a good job on him in the first half. In the second half, he made some shots and his confidence was up and he started rolling. |
Nothing he does surprises me anymore. He's just a terrific player. He's a tremendous luxury to have, knowing he can go out there any time and put up numbers like that. |
Obviously, you can't replace a player like that. |
Right now, he's getting by on athleticism. He's going to be real good. |
That's back when I had a full head of hair. |
There is nobody in this league that can stop him. |
This team went through a lot of ups and downs, injuries to Larry (Hughes) , losing streaks. People doubted us, expected us to falter. |
Tonight we got inside and got fouled a lot. We tried to play the inside-outside game, and it worked well for us as we got to the free-throw line. |
We couldn't close the game. These last few games could have gone either way. It's hard. We knew that they play hard. They are young but they play hard. |
We just came out flat against a good team and when you do that on the road, you pay for it. We just got down by too many points. |
We were looking for a boost and he (Murray) did it for us. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be celebrating this win. |
With us being really thin at small forward, it's not good. But this time of year, that's usually when it happens. |
