In the first half, we forgot our game plan and (James) was just getting down the lane. In the second half, we tried to cut the lane off, and I don't think we gave him a field goal.

When I first signed my deal, they said if I made the All-Star Game in the first three years, we could rip up this contract and sign a new one. Well, I made it last year and they blew me off, and nothing has happened this year either. All I want is to get my face out there. If I'm the last person on the totem pole, just tell me I'm not in your future -- don't keep my hopes and dreams up.

When you turn on the tube you see him hitting six 3s in a game, so you know he can shoot the ball. And this was just one of those nights when he caught fire.

You give 100 percent in the first half of the game, and if that isn't enough in the second half you give what's left.

(The Tigers) had the best of the second half. I thought we controlled the game in the first half. If you can't get the ball forward, though, you're not going to win.

This game was similar to the first one, really -- we started out slow but came on in the second half. I just tried to provide some leadership.
