All the basketball players in the city, the NBA guys, the coaches, everybody told me to go see Herb. He's shaped the games of so many players.

All this stuff, we can't really worry about it. If we get better and keep getting better the rest of the year, that's our ultimate goal.

I felt proud of them and happy for them as friends. But then I was, not jealous in a bad way, but I just was wishing I had been there ... It did take me a while to accept that reality, but that's over with now.

I don't worry much but I'm starting to worry a little.

I don't tend to dwell on that too much. I'm starting to feel good, as far as confidence is concerned, but I'm just hoping things can keep going.

I came from a winning situation and I've seen it done the right way. I've seen the sun shining, so I know every day shouldn't be rainy. Maybe some of the other guys haven't seen the sun shining and they don't really know what they're missing.

But, you know, this is America . . . I just don't really care for it.

I ran right by him. I didn't touch him.

I really don't place a lot of importance on starting. I want to be out there the last six minutes of the fourth quarter.

I may not agree with everything he does or says, but he's the coach; if he says it, I'll do it. Even if I think it's wrong or I don't think it will help, I have to do it because he gets paid to make the decisions.
