We had a long talk (Monday) about a lot of different things. I know for this team to go to the next level I have to make plays for others.
We can't say, 'We're not playing the best teams in the league, so we can relax.' Not at all. It's the NBA, so we have to focus on getting better, so we can be as good as we're going to get by the time the playoffs come.
If someone wears something you like, you make comments on it. And if someone wears something we don't like, we make comments on it, too. That's just what guys do, what teammates do. Besides that, we don't really compete in that space.
I'm on a team with LeBron James and Chris Bosh, and they both dress well. It gets competitive. If I don't bring my A game, they're going to outshine me.
The locker room has to be right. We've got to be patient to build this team.
We're focusing on what we need to do. The only attention we're thinking about is giving each other the attention that we need as a team, and making sure that everyone in here knows how they important they are to our success.
Well, it used to be Kobe Bryant...the second best all time...now, I have a new favorite player to play against...my former teammate, LeBron James.
No team works out teamwork.
Our goal is to be the best team in the NBA at the end of the year.
The thing is, I don't do these things for recognition, being a good teammate, being a positive member of the community. I do them because those things make me whole and complete.
We have to come back tomorrow. We're a team that never quits, we always fight.
This was an exciting game from beginning to end. Both teams were getting out running and scoring at will.
When another team is at home and they've got that rhythm going at the end you never know what can happen.
We came out of the locker room knowing we had let this team back in the game. We knew we had to get back our focus.
