It seems like he believes that's just a waste of time or emotion. He just comes in and says what he has to say in a very cool, casual way.

He's one of the best shooters in the league and he's a good guy. He's not Reggie, but he provides that threat. It should open up our inside game so people aren't just sagging and hanging on Jermaine (O'Neal) all the time.

I have to work 10 times harder, plus that. As far as getting ready, I'll be ready when it's time to go.

To boo Joey here, that's tough on him and tough on all of us. At the same time, I can sympathize with the fans, too.

[Vaughn] cried the whole time. [Handy] cried a little bit, but showed no emotion on his face. I asked if they could tell me what happened and Mr. Handy wouldn't answer any of my questions. He just stared at me.

Any time you win it's a good thing. Certainly there was more emotion here tonight.
