They played better offensively and we did a bad job guarding, ... We had a chance to put them away but we have been going through this the last couple of games, having leads and giving them up.

I think if Yao Ming was on my team, we'd probably have a 100 percent chance of winning an NBA championship.

What makes me feel good is all of the people that rooted for A.I. get a chance to say, 'He did what you never thought he could do. The critics. He did what you never thought he could accomplish.' This is a moment that me and my fans and my family and friends can share together because we always believed in the dream.

It was great. It felt like we turned that corner. We had leads going into the fourth quarter and we weren't able to sustain them.

When you are not practicing, someone else is getting better.

Just because you put a guy in a tuxedo doesn't make him a good guy.
