setting team win
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.
beginning holding playing season teams
This is how we were playing at the beginning of the season when we were holding teams to 85 points. If we can keep playing like this, we'll be pretty good.
among best chosen coaches entire excited forward happy honor honored looking picked players star teammates
It's a blessing. It's an honor to be an All- Star and I'm really happy that Commissioner (David Stern) has chosen me. I'm excited and honored to be picked among the best players in the game, and I'm looking forward to representing my teammates and coaches and this entire organization at the All-Star Game.
consistent good race run series team tight
It's a tight race and we have to keep winning. We have to play consistent and any series we get into we are going to give any team a good run for their money.
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.
last older pieces players team third year
They got a more experienced team than they did last year. He's in his third year now, the players he's got around him is in their third, the young ones. So they got older pieces now that won't let that happen.
found freedom seem teams tough
It didn't seem possible, but they've found a way to improve. They have so much more freedom with the ball, and they still make it tough on teams with their defense.
beat good maybe playoff supposed teams thinking
Maybe we aren't as good as we think we are. We keep thinking we're a playoff team, but we are getting beat by teams we're supposed to beat. We need to come out and play a little harder, play with a little sense of urgency. We have the talent.
exposed fans missing onto picked players team voted year
I won't be picked by the fans because I'm not getting exposed like those guys. So I need to actually do work. Every year I'm going to have to come in and do my work. I'm not ever going to be one of those players who get voted onto the All-Star team after missing most of the season.
beat dominates perfect team
There's always that one team that dominates another team. For us to beat them, we have to play a perfect game.
beat guy hard team
It's hard to beat a guy who's 9-for-9 from the 3-point line. He willed his team to victory.
careful teams
Teams like that you have to be careful of because they've got nothing to play for.
almost conference eastern missing pay team
Somebody's going to have to pay for me missing the initial. And that's almost every Eastern Conference team out there.
enjoy fans honor nice
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.
