Coach said, 'Throw away the plays. 'Throw away the plays?' All right. That's like playing outside.

Coach mentioned it to us but we knew this wasn't going to be a blowout.

It was one of those nights. I knew an Eastern Conference coach was coming in here, so my mind was set already.

I was the one who was helping him out. But I guess he heard from somebody that I told Coach not to play him in Game 3. It wasn't like that.

We have this job, most players, four years. If you're lucky, you can squeeze out a 10-year career. After that, you have the rest of your life to do whatever you want. I'd rather devote my time when I have it, and after I'm done with this, there are other things in life and I can forget about basketball. Once I'm done, I don't want to sit around here and linger around and coach or try to get into the media stuff. When I'm done with the NBA, I just want to be done with it.
