It's kind of scary where he's at right now, at 21 years old and the way he dominates games. If I didn't know him, I would be surprised (by his development). He's one of the most level-headed guys I've ever met, and he has a will to be the best.
I'm just trying to do what I can to help this team. We'll get back into it. Other guys will get back into the flow. It's a bump in the road.
He's a big guy and anytime he gets injured it's a lot of weight that goes down on it. We have enough firepower that when one guys goes down the other guys can step up.
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.
Guys know what they need to do, but at the same time, I think they're still trying to understand what coach Riley wants them to do.
Our continuity is still good. Of course, there was a little rust and we had a lot of anxiousness. But guys played with a lot of energy.
Maybe I got hurt for a reason - to bring these guys here and we all celebrate together over on Biscayne Bay one day,
It's a totally different situation. I have other guys on my team.
It's feeling a little better. I got out there with the guys and moved around a little bit. I plan on playing even though it's a little sore.
Third preseason game, and coach looked like he coached the end of the season. Guys are putting their heads down already.

It's just about getting the ball around the area of the rim. Some guys hit some shots, we all do, that you just throw up and it goes in. But most of the time you're trying to get it around the area of the rim and give it a chance. You never know what can happen if you get it on the backboard.
It helps us with our one-on-one game, especially guys that have quick first steps.
No matter what, if it was going right or wrong, or guys were tired, we still got the job done. It's a beautiful thing to see guys come into their roles.
