We're looking at our own sizes, we're looking at our friends' sizes,
We're going to need team efforts, we're going to need each other down the stretch. With 29 games to go, we've got to win more than half of those to give us a better seed in the playoffs. We don't want to settle for the eighth spot. We want to try and get as high as we can.
We didn't take care of it. We just struggled handling the ball.
They do a lot of cutting, back screens and stuff like that. We weren't ready to handle the back screens and all the cuts. ... They are a well-coached team, and it shows.
You can't just put it on one thing. We have been doing a lot of things well. We are playing well together, we are defending, we are doing a lot of positive things out there.
I want to win a ring. I want to have the opportunity to get back to the Finals. All that matters is us getting into the playoffs, because then, anything can happen.
keep his head up, that it would all work out.
His opinion is his opinion - and it's just that. I don't have anything negative to say about him, and I don't have anything negative to say about the situation.
I was like a kid in a candy store. It felt like the first game of the season because I was excited to be back.
I think a lot of it has to do with the trade deadline being over. Guys are comfortable now that they?re going to be here.
These guys don't play it at a level like a Vince Carter or Tracy McGrady or myself,
It's big for us because we know the other teams are right around us for the playoffs. (But) we are not approaching games like that. We are just trying to win the game. We don't feel like we need to settle for the eighth or seventh seed, we feel like we can get as high as we want to.
I think that with this team, we honestly worry about other things besides team concepts.
It was a great feeling, man. My first time being here, people embracing me the way they were. It's something I'm going to cherish ... It kind of made me more nervous, just wanting to give them a good show.
