Dominance, man. I think this is the best he's played in a long time. Last night was one of his better games in a while, so it's good to see him back into the form of being Shaquille.

You try to bounce back and that's all I tried to do every time I had a bad game. I was just putting the effort forward for my teammates to make plays and make plays for myself. So I did a decent job of bouncing back.
You (the media) might have made him (O'Neal) mad. I think you all lit a fire under him. He's been playing well the last couple of games. We have to find him more. We came out trying to get him the ball early. He led us to victory.
That's something I'm going to play over and over again in my head and say I should have gone with the left. I got to the basket. I really wanted to go for the three; I wanted to go for the win. But once I came off (the screen) I had attacked the basket. And I got a good shot. It just wasn't meant to be because I don't miss that too often.
That's once in a lifetime right there. There are not many times when Shaq has been on the bench in the fourth quarter.
That's a big reason the trade was made so we'd have a lot of guns.
I told him he's got to hold his end of the bargain up. I'm tired of carrying us.

It's all about getting the win. You can't be good every night.
It's all about being aggressive. I saw a lot of gaps tonight.
It's a little sore, as expected. Playing a lot of minutes. I had the ball in my hand a lot, jumping on it a lot. But it's getting better daily.
It's all a win-now philosophy. We've got some old guys on this team. Gary (Payton) ain't got five, six more years left. Shaq ain't got five, six more years left. That is the reason the trade was made. We'd be kidding ourselves if we thought the trade was for us to grow together for the next three years. No, it's not. We understand that.
It's not one guy sticking me the whole game where we're both getting tired.
