I feel like it's a fresh start for me. I'm feeling better than I ever felt. I feel better than even in high school or college.
It's a big loss. In my eyes, he's the Defensive Player of the Year.
It was an ugly win, no doubt about it. But we just kept our composure. We wanted to play hard from beginning to end.
As a team, we didn't forget about him. Probably the fans and somebody else forgot about him.
Of course it was a disappointment at first, having that as one of my goals at the beginning of the season. But at the end of the day you and everybody else knows how the West was.
I got some treatment (Saturday). I got some rest. I got a lot of treatment. I got some ice and massages on my side. They said it was going to hurt. . . . It keeps getting banged up. I just got to fight through it.
Sometimes (the padding) doesn't even work - depending on who (hits) it.
He's looking good - better than what I thought he (would) coming back from a broken hand. He's looking real good.
I didn't know what the numbers were, but I knew I needed to hit some shots. Then I realized I was going off all by myself.
I made a promise to him that in '06 I would come back (to the gym) at night. I've got to keep that promise.
I took that as motivation. Anything that happens, I'll take it as motivation.
It's a special day to be playing on. I can pay my respect to the man. I dedicate the game to him.
They shot . . . near 80 percent out there. Everybody had a hot hand. It was hard to adjust our defense to everybody out there.
They started trash talking out there. It woke us up. We started to get up and down the court. ... I was pointing at the Memphis TV guys. They was talking trash, too.
