I take this as motivation. It's nothing to be upset about. I can't take away and nobody else can take away what I've done this season.
Me playing only 6 minutes in the first half really hurt us. Anybody gets frustrated over fouls. It's a matter of how you bounce back. I tried to come back in the second half and bounce back. . . . By that time it was a little too late.
That boy got eyes on the front and back and both sides of his head. He got eyes everywhere. He's always playing hard. Only thing I like about him, he looks for his teammates first, then he goes out there. He's not a selfish player. I can play with somebody like that all year long, maybe in the future we can get him out here in Denver.
My team needed me out there to get some things done. At halftime I just told them it's time for me to wake up and just go out there and win the game.
That was real good. That was probably the best thing that happened (Saturday). Seeing the kid.
That was a good block, good defense. He was doing that all night. Actually, he's been doing that all year.
I was trying to set a screen for Andre Miller and just get open. I saw the double team coming and I just tried to beat it and go fast to the basket.
We've got to figure it out. Any time we miss a key component to our team like that, out for a lot of games, and he comes back, it's going to be rusty.
We knew that it was a division game and we wanted to win it and we showed that.
To see anybody mess up their knee like that is real tough. I think, not just me, but a lot of people, will have to step up.
We got hot. We started making shots. We can shoot, man.
Wally hit some big shots and they got some easy baskets.
Who wouldn't want to go back home to play?
Of course I want to take the last shot, let's be quite frank: I've been doing for nine years already, and I've made a ton of them.
