I talk to Julius every day. He's just got to be patient. George is going to get on him a lot, but it's for the best. He only wants him to get better. I try to talk to him and tell him to fight through it.
Give the Clippers credit. They tried to take the ball out of my hands. We missed shots we normally make. We kept fighting and kept competing. I feel very good about this series.
We've been fighting with injuries all year. So we've got to do what we did tonight, go with who's going to go out there and play.
I got some treatment (Saturday). I got some rest. I got a lot of treatment. I got some ice and massages on my side. They said it was going to hurt. . . . It keeps getting banged up. I just got to fight through it.
I'm feeling really good about our chances in the series. Me knowing how much fight I have in me and how much fight we have as a team. We always rebound. We're not going to steal Game Two; we're going to earn the win.
Just trying to support him in any way we can.
(Karl) just told us management had to make a decision.
I take this as motivation. It's nothing to be upset about. I can't take away and nobody else can take away what I've done this season.
We've got to roll with it and just move on. Everybody's got to pick up the slack.
Having three, four power forwards out there on our team, being so deep at that position, at this point, it really doesn't matter.
He's a good defender. Everybody knows that. . . . We'll see how it turns out.
I feel like it's a fresh start for me. I'm feeling better than I ever felt. I feel better than even in high school or college.
I can't even remember. To me, it's just going to be like practice. . . . I don't even look at it as trying out.
Last year I showed people a little of what I can do. I didn't give them the whole shebang.
