I feel a little in shock right now. I kept hearing about it for a week and a half now.

We lost this game in the third quarter. We allowed them to score 35 points. That was a back-breaker.

When a big scorer like (guard Larry Hughes ) goes down, others need to come in and pick it up. It took awhile, but we've done it.

When that ball was in the air, I was nervous. When you look at the shot he hit out there, it was the same way - with two people in his face. A normal person wouldn't have made the shot. When it went long (Sunday), I had a sigh of relief.

Once they re-signed Z, I knew they had a legit center and I knew I wasn't going to be stuck down in the post playing out of position all the time. It became a great fit for me.

It was a great performance. People need to understand that he's only 21 years old. The criticism he's taking is unfair.
