calls flop free games harder hole michael mind paul pierce scream shot throws trying tv
I'm not one of those fakers who is going to scream and flop and play all those little mind games trying to get a call, I'm just going to go and get my basket, ... But then I look on TV and see Paul Pierce shot 24 free throws and Michael Redd shot 17 and I'm like, 'Man, I go to the hole harder than anybody, so where are the calls at?'
ball close easy games good happened happy moved playing stuff together took
After the close games we've been playing it was good to just come out, put it all together and put one away. I was happy that we didn't let up when we got the lead. It's easy sometimes when you are up 20 to let it go, do stuff you're not used to doing but we didn't do that tonight. We took good shots, moved the ball well and good things happened for us.

It's an honor for the organization, an honor for me and an honor for my family. It's nice for our fans to get to enjoy having an All-Star that's representing their city.

I wanted to go out there and get my wind, so I'm glad Eddie left me out there in overtime. Even though it's only the preseason, you still want to get the win.

This is where you make your name. People follow what you did during the regular season, but what you do in the playoffs, it's all magnified. The TV cameras are on you. The critics are watching, so this is where you step up your game.

I already had it in my mind. It's time for elimination. I'm the terminator. I'm in terminate mode, and I'm trying not to get out of it.

I'm an All-Star in my mind, and I'm an All-Star to this city, my peers and this organization. So that's all that matters to me.
areas defensive great growing knows
In this league, it's about growing up, ... That's one of the areas I've got to grow up in. . . . Everyone knows I can score. Everyone knows I can do all these great things, but if you want to be an MVP in this league, you've got to do everything. I've just got to become a better defensive player.
