All I was saying was to guard Randolph like he guards you. And from then on he was on another planet. |
But we had to play well to get those leads. That's what we have to keep building on. That's the way we're going to have to play in the playoffs. |
Definitely, we're relieved. When we first started hearing about his discomfort we were all kind of worried. But the doctors did a great job of finding the problem and getting on top of it. |
Game, set, match, I knew it was over. |
He (Mourning) came in there in that fourth quarter for about a four or five minute stretch where his intensity and his energy were more hurtful than anything. Not only did it energize the crowd, but it energized the other players on his team. |
He blamed the struggles of this team on me. He told me that I know better because I've been there before and I've been on good teams and I should be passing along the way we approached games last year. |
He understands that being a great player comes down to how you can help your team win games. That's what his focus is right now. He's not worried about MVP or anything like that. He's just trying to help his team win games. |
He's an inspiration on and off the floor, the way he carries himself. He's been a professional all year long. He's been (criticized), even though he's scoring 30-some points a night, people are still not satisfied. Because of it, he's prepared his team for the playoffs. I want to see what the kid is capable of. |
His intensity hurt us more than anything. |

Hopefully, the critics will get off (James') back now. It was good for it to happen now going into the playoffs. |
I am fully aware of the false accusations that have been made against me. I've been very cooperative with the Westlake police and their investigation of this whole matter. |
I am fully aware of the false accusations that have been made against me. When the investigation is over, I feel like I will be vindicated of all charges. |
I don't have a 7-foot, 300-pound guy on my (butt) telling me if I don't hit a shot he's going to send me to Siberia. |
I hope they appreciated me. We both enjoyed each other. They were great fans. |
