We played into their hands by helping so much and letting shooters like Jones and Bell and guys like that hit some awfully big shots.

I want the ball in my hands. I want to make plays for the guys. I got in that matrix [in the third quarter]. I felt like I couldn't miss.

Guys who might not be superstars but because of their hustle, because of the little things they do, these are the guys who can really mean the difference between winning and losing.

I've played for the Miami Heat my whole career under Pat Riley. Mr. GQ himself. So when I pick out my outfits before a game, I'm already feeling confident. And some of that swagger stays with me when I take the court.

Our guys have played in some real high-pressure situations here lately and they've responded well. Hopefully now we can build on that experience.

Flintoff, Trescothick, Vaughan, Bell, Giles, Hoggard, Harmison and Simon Jones all see me as a father figure.
