Not only does he have an impact directly, but I think it's filtered through the team.
I didn't know if there was going to be enough time. I turned to shoot and then saw him at last second and tried to fire it to him real quick. I probably should have shot the ball.
We have a lot of guys who are a little beat up and a little stressed out at this part of the season. It's great to have this break, let everybody get away and then come back refreshed.
We've got a bunch of unselfish guys that don't really care who gets it done.
We had a great season, a franchise record. It's all gone now.
We're healthy, we're right where we want to be.
We're hitting a stride - I don't know if it's THE stride. We go through lulls. It's about recovery. It's about making adjustments on the fly.
We did it last year and it was fun. We got up and down. I think we had less turnovers than any other time in the game.
Whatever happens, happens. We'll be ready for whoever we get.
What they have done over the last two games is make us react to what they do, ... They have been aggressive defensively and they have got us back on our heels and they make us kind of counter what they are doing instead of them countering what we're doing.
We know what we have left, and we just have to kind of get it done. We still have a chance to end up with one of our best seasons yet, so we just have to turn that corner and get back on a roll before the playoffs come around.
I'm not going anywhere. You can print that wherever you want to. I'm here and I'm a Spur for life.
I think LeBron asked out of the game once or twice before that, so we knew he was getting tired but we were all getting tired out there. ... I don't think I've played in anything like this since I left the islands.
At this point, if I were to psychoanalyze myself, I'd have to say I am a clown, cleverly disguised as a regular person.
