I was very, very motivated. I felt like I owed my teammates because I played so bad two nights ago. It was just one of those games. Nothing went my way. So I watched some film with (Popovich) to see what I could do better.
I've just got to stay aggressive and play my game, ... Do whatever my team needs me to do.
It was a big win. We were motivated to play against Miami. Obviously, they are one of the best teams in this league.
He said it very plain, very clear. He said, 'We need to repeat.' We're just about the only team that's won a championship lately that did not repeat.
When Boston and Orlando told me they were going to pick me at 21 and 22, I figured I don't need to do a workout for a second -round team. Boston and Orlando never drafted me because they said I was too skinny and no European point guard will make it in the League.
A lot of teams like to put a bigger player on me. A lot of times, I backed him off but didn't hit the shot. I've got to hit the shots.
It was great to find my teammates tonight. Everybody was making shots and Finley was hot so I tried to find him when I could. We were all feeling good tonight.
