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.
We just need to know what it feels like to win a playoff game. Even if we don't win this series, as a young team to build for next year it's just good to get a playoff win.
It would be nice to own a team in Melbourne, seeing I'm from here, but whether it's Melbourne, Sydney, Cairns, it doesn't matter. I think they're all good markets.
I'd set good screens, get him open, and that's how I would get open. We'd be tough. Hopefully, they take me. I'd be an asset for them.
They wanted to get out of here, which was good for us.
It was good for a laugh back then, I guess,
It's much better. Much better. Now we have to do that against the good teams.
It's been good. We go to dinner together and talk about stuff. It's really helped me out. He's seen the worst of things; he's seen the best of things. So he's a good guy to talk to about things.
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,
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.
