We've beaten Dallas and some other teams when we've had guys out. Every week there's a different guy out. We're used to it now and guys are getting used to stepping up. So it hasn't been a problem for us but it would be definitely better to have (Ford back).
Definitely not. I don't like how it looks, but I don't play basketball for looks.
I'm just happy to be a part of the weekend. To be an All-Star is something very special, and that will take a couple years. It might not happen next year, it might happen the year after ? but it's definitely a goal I have in my sights.
I'm definitely honoured to be the No. 1 ticket-holder. I've followed the league since I was a kid and I've got some close friends playing in the NBL.
I'm definitely going to be coming into sport. It will be in Australia. Basketball will hopefully be the priority,
I will definitely play in the world championships. We will just go trying to take teams out as the underdogs, and then we will be happy.
We're definitely positive. To win a few games obviously would be nice. We'd like to win the series, but being realistic, they're the No. 1 seed. We're just going to try to take a game or two, and on any day, you never know what can happen.
I think it's unbelievable. Getting your jersey retired, whether it be in high school, college, little league or whatever. It's an amazing achievement. It's something you'll remember forever.
I remember when I was a kid having the Friday night games or the Saturday night games - a South East Melbourne versus Melbourne . . . they were huge, sold out, you couldn't get a ticket,
I think I have a lot of room for improvement. I just got to keep striving to work hard everyday and I think good things will happen. As long as we get the win it doesn't matter what I did.
That's the sort of thing that I have spoken to him about as a friend - I've told him you've got to bulk up,
You have to be smart the way you play him; he shoots the ball so well. You have to go in there and play with energy, try to take him out of his game. But it's going to be tough.
We come out soft. Every team that has come in here has probably run the first quarter.
I think Chris Paul is a great player. He is very unselfish and plays very hard, so he would be a guy if he plays. I think his hand is still questionable, though. I hear they are talking about resting him that weekend. I'm excited to play with all the guys. Marvin Williams is starting to play well, and Salim Stoudamire, I think he should be there.
