Coach told us to come in and play well on our home floor. Teams that you're supposed to beat, you've got to beat them. That's what we did tonight. At the same time, having a big lead and guys having the opportunity to rest was big also.
Coach did put a challenge out there for me to be more active on defense, to be more aware. I know I'm a good defender. At times, I just take a rest. So he put a challenge on me not to take a rest.
The Bulls have no baggage. They're just going out there and they're free and they're just playing the game the way it should be played.
A little shot in the butt. It started kicking in after a couple minutes out there and I felt good after that.
Anybody who comes into Miami, if they sign on the dotted line then they'll understand what we're trying to do here. I have no problem with it at all. He knows we're about winning right now.
Anytime a change is made in the middle of the season, you're going to be shocked, especially with Stan Van Gundy. I've got a tremendous amount of respect for him. To step down the way he did, what can you say about that? ... We were shocked, but at the same time, we've got a game today.
Another win Wednesday will make us feel great about the way we're playing.
This builds character for a team, ... I'm just happy it happened earlier in the season. Hopefully, this will make us better.
Third preseason game, and coach looked like he coached the end of the season. Guys are putting their heads down already.

There is a side of me what wants to go, and there is a side of me that of course wants to win the gold. But there is a side of me that wants to make sure that things are different this time around.
This win is important for our confidence. Any game where we're down, we can always look back to this game and know that we did it against a good team and can pull it out.
There are a lot of good teams coming into our house, but it is our home and we need to defend our home.
We ran plays to get him the ball, but also, us as a team have been waiting 18 games to get him the ball. So you don't have to worry about us not looking for him. We really want to get him back to his All-Star form.
