We have to be concerned a little bit, but at the same time we have to do a better job overall in playing with a little bit more hustle.

He was really on me. But we had a nice mismatch there, and I just had to shoot over him.

He's played more minutes today than in the previous three games, and it's difficult mentally to achieve that, but he's done it.

I ain't gonna lie, I was aware of it. I know I needed the assists and I was hoping that Mike Miller was going to make one of those shots (in the fourth quarter). I had a good game sharing the ball and making the right decisions.

He wanted me to keep shooting and not refuse to shoot because I was missing. Like Eddie told me once, he's been in all the different scenarios -- been the main guy, the No. 2 option, and the third option. He knows how it feels.

This was a good lesson for us. It lets us find out what's in store for us in the playoffs. Perhaps we have to step it up one notch.

I see happy people on this team, who are excited to come to work and be a part of this team, working together to get somewhere. I don't see selfish guys, who are worrying about themselves and their situations. We have guys happy to share and doing whatever it takes to win. That is what we've lacked in previous years.

We need a little more depth, but it's hard to say right now. We need somebody to get us a few more rebounds, a little bit of extra toughness. We need guys who will hold their ground, be a little more physical, get to loose balls, be able to defend this time of year.
