absolutely crucial means miss sudden trouble
We absolutely miss him. He is crucial to what we do. When you get used to having someone like that and then all of a sudden you don't have him, it means you have to adjust. We're having trouble adjusting.
goal
We're confident. Our goal was to get one of these (first) two (games in Cleveland). We got one and they come to us.
areas defense growing hard serious start summer teammates worked year
It's about growing up and that's one of the areas where I have to grow up in. I worked hard this summer on all of my abilities and that's one of them. I'm going to take defense very serious this year and if I start slacking off, I have teammates who will keep me into it.
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?'

It was a hard game and they were great. You can't take that away from them.

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'd been setting up my team all night, ... I'm going to win the game. That's what I do. . . . They didn't say it was going to be easy.
physical protect
I know what he would say. He'd say protect yourself. ... Things have changed. Things are a lot more physical now then they ever were before.
adjust night pick ran
They ran one play all night and we never adjust to it - pick and roll, AI to Webber.
eddie glad left though
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 get buckets, ... I get buckets. He knows that.
