I came up with that one day during the summer. I was in the gym and this guy told me I couldn't touch one side of the backboard and come to the other side and dunk the ball, and I did it. It came from that, and I'm glad I got a chance to show it to the crowd.
We are trying to focus on moving up and trying to focus on our ability, rather than on Chicago. We know we are better than eighth place.
(Robinson) deserved to win. This is for the crowd. If that's what they wanted, then that's what they got. I'm not too worried about it.
I think lately there has been (movement). I remember last night we had many possessions where everybody touched the ball and guys were getting movement. Especially when Kevin Ollie?s in the game and Michael Bradley?s in the game, we tend to get a whole lot of movement, being we don?t have a scorer like Allen in the game.
I think I stepped my game up this year from last year, but I feel there's a lot more I can do as well. I'm attacking a little bit more.
That was just an instinct play with the clock going down.
Tomorrow is going to be a fun day. I've got a couple of things under my sleeve. I want to try something new. Everything I did today, you've seen before. I am going to try some new things tomorrow.
He was Kobe Bryant tonight. I was pretty sure he wanted to come back at us because we pretty much hurt him when we played last time.
When I am comfortable and am out there playing freely and confident like tonight, the sky is the limit.
I didn't really know that. Fans really get hold of that type of information when you pass on a guy. Kobe Bryant was the 13th pick, Tracy McGrady was the ninth pick. You never really know until you step on the court, so you really can't fault them.
He says that a lot, actually, just letting me know, 'You're more of a threat, not just a guy who runs to the basket,' ... That's what I've been wanting to hear since I've been in the league.
We made a few adjustments and guys just came in understanding where they should be. We had to turn things around and that was one of the things we had to do, turn around our defense.
Obviously when you have a guy out like Allen Iverson, it takes a lot of pressure off their defense. We're trying to focus on moving up, and trying to focus on our ability, rather than Chicago. We know we're better than eighth place.
Obviously when you have a guy like that who puts the ball in the hole and takes a lot of pressure of you on the offensive end, you're going to have to make it up in different ways and we're just trying to adjust without him and it's tough.
