Mentally, you're preparing yourself for the higher pace and things like that, but you can't know about it until you experience it. So I'm looking forward to it.

I don't know what it is. I can't answer it. The emphasis going into the game is to start aggressive; in a way to send a message we're going to play hard. I don't know what the deal is. We're a team that really needs some wins.

I remember a lot of guys saying in the NBA everybody just sort of plays and then the last six or seven minutes you decide the game. Well, to tell you the truth, the team that shows up to play earliest normally wins. I totally disagree with that. So many games are lost in the first quarter. You get down 15 and it's such an uphill battle.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs were just better.

I want to be a point guard; I believe that's my position. I don't mind playing two-guard, but I wasn't very comfortable there, and it was noticeable in my play.

We can give up talent for team chemistry. Team chemistry is more important than talent. We definitely have enough talent to go very far.
