blow decisions hard holding lead learn matter somebody
We have to make better decisions on holding leads. We get a lead in another team's building, then give up the lead. It's hard to get it back, no matter who you're playing. We have to learn how to get a lead and blow somebody out. We haven't done that in a while.
boo bothered ron
I just told Ron he shouldn't feel bad. They boo me, and I play here. I don't think it bothered him. If they'll boo me, they'll boo anybody.
attacking black dress gotten guys problem sloppy wearing
I just think that's attacking young, black males. The part about wearing suits, I think we should dress up. A lot of guys have gotten sloppy with the way they dress and I have no problem with that. But the chains, that's going a little too far.
aggressive plays score shots touches
I'm getting a lot more touches now. I just try to make plays for my team. I have to be more aggressive because I can score and I'll also get shots for other people. That's a big part of it.
miss uniform
I miss Reggie; he did a lot for this team, a lot for this organization, a lot for this city. But it's a new time, a new uniform and a new year,
foul job tough
I just didn't want to foul him. I wanted to make him make a tough shot. I thought I did my job - he just did his better.
dressing problem
I have no problem dressing up ... because I know I'm a nice-looking guy,
job replace seem trying
I'm not trying to replace Reggie because that would be something that's impossible, ... All I can do is come here and do my job and make it seem like he's not missed.
bit easier game heal last point pushing ready seven
I'm at the point where pushing it is making it worse. I've been pushing it for so long that it's easier to sprain every game. I've sprained it in seven of the last 10 games. I'm going to take a game off and try to let it heal a little bit and try to be ready for (Tuesday's game at Chicago).
foul great meant played shots tough
I played great 'D.' It was a tough 3 off the glass. There's nothing you can do about it. It was just one of those shots that was just meant to be. I didn't want to foul him. I wanted him to take a tough shot.
earth great job man satisfied sexiest team thinks
He's a nice-dressed guy. He thinks he's the sexiest man on earth, so he had a lot to do with it. He did a great job with it. The whole team is satisfied with the look.
best carries hat players
He's one of the best players in the NBA. You have to take your hat off to him the way he carries his team.
defender good great welcome
He's not as good of a defender as Ron, but he's an All-Star. I'll welcome any All-Star to our team. He's a great player.
coming court gain guys job playing relationship together trying worrying
He's not here. We're not worrying about where he's going ... We've got a job to do. I think we're worrying about these 12, 15 guys coming out and playing together trying to gain some kind of relationship on and off the court so we can get this thing done the right way.
