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

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.

The last couple of days I have thought about it because it did come down to these two teams. It was almost like choosing a college. I think I made the best choice for myself and my family.
