I see the guys playing a lot harder when they see me and Reggie out there banging down on the floor, getting rebounds and doing the things that we do.

If we keep playing like we played tonight, we might mess up and get put out in the first round. It's very frustrating right now.

They're so good. There are times when they're playing when it's just: 'Oh my gosh, these guys are like the Rolling Stones or something.' It's pretty stunning.

That's why he got all those millions -- he just has to be consistent. That's what big-time players do.

We're playing better. When you're in a tournament like this, the more you win, the more guys realize they're playing for something.

I can remind Carlos all I want. But when you get out there against Cuba or whoever and start banging it around ... I think he'll forget exactly what I told him. That's how your competitive juices flow. If you know Carlos, when was the last time you saw Carlos take it easy?
