I'm getting a lot more touches now. I just try to make plays for my team. I have to be more aggressive because I can score and I'll also get shots for other people. That's a big part of it.

This team has too many great guys and good professionals to go through so much negativity. As my friend, I would still love for him to be here, but I don't miss the negativity. Being around a positive environment, everybody plays better and everybody works better.

Miami is still a tough team without Shaq, and Wade proved that. We had to grind it out in the end to get the win. It's big for us because we know they will be there in the end. Having home court advantage really helps us out.

We made our plays. But somehow, some way, we had them called back.

We didn't get him touches then because of what they were doing (on defence) and what we were doing up front. It's just how it happened.

Lakewood is a team that plays hard and they are never going to go away. They made a couple 3's down the stretch to cut the lead to five but our seniors did a good job in putting the game away.
