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.

I wouldn't say Dwayne Wade won the game, I'd say Miami won the game. They really played as a team. They always made the extra pass. They found the right guy, the open guy.

We haven't even talked about Miami, so this has been about playing the other team.

It's a grind and tough mentally.

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.
