George, for the last two days, was stressing the fact that, if the playoffs started tomorrow, (Memphis) would be the team we'd be playing against. I think we wanted to make a statement that if we play y'all in the playoffs, this is what y'all are going to see.
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.
The Clippers did a heck of a job packing it in on me, not letting me get to the basket like I wanted to and as I had been doing in the past. They sent every kind of defense a team can send at me these last two games. It got frustrating, especially when you're trying to get back in the game and whatever you do is not working.
I told him that we needed each other for this team to be good. I need him, he needs me. We got to make it work. If it don't work between us, it's not going to work on the court. Ever since then, it started clicking.
If we win playing ugly ball, we'll take it.
Every kid has a dream of owning and driving a race car. I have always had a love for cars especially fast cars, and this is a dream come true. I'll stick to driving the basketball lane and let P.J. handle the fast lane.
I think I'm starting to get into a rhythm a little more. I'm focusing more.
He's a good defender. Everybody knows that. . . . We'll see how it turns out.
I hope so. I'm just going to wait and see. I feel comfortable. . . . But there are lot of forwards in the West doing really good.
Regardless of who it was, I was going to the hole. They weren't going to stop me that time. I was either going to get a foul or a dunk.
For two days, George (Karl) has been constantly stressing that this is a team that we'll be playing against. We kind of wanted to make a statement that if we play you in the playoffs, this is what you're going to see.
You're kind of embarrassed when you lose like that.
It didn't seem like he had 40 points.
On the defensive end, they really turned up the pressure on us.
