Usually I like going to the paint because I could get close shots, or physical contact and get a foul. Today, they didn't call it so I was afraid to go inside.

The third quarter was the turning point. The third quarter when Kobe hit those shots. Those were great shots. I think defensively we did everything we could do, and he just made shots.

Of all working screenwriters, I'm a foul shooter, ... I would take any screenwriter on in foul shots.

They just double-team so hard. At times they would just take the ball away from me. I couldn't see the weak side to find that open man. We know we can play. We have learned from the experience of playing without McGrady and know we can still compete.

I saw them when I was 5 or 6 years old in China in my hometown, Shanghai. That's the only game I watched them. I think I would like to watch them play.

Maybe it's the best thing for me and when I come back I'll be stronger.
