We were just a lot more aggressive in the second half. That's how we have to play if we want to win on Saturday.

I'm a big Steve Nash fan, have been since he's been in the league. I wanted to play with Amaré (Stoudemire) and Jimmy (Jackson, a Miami teammate). It was the fit and the opportunity to be alongside Kurt Thomas and Amaré. They made a great run, especially during the regular season. It definitely helped to have a great chance of getting out of the West and making a championship run.

I've always been real excited for them to be in badminton. I'm hoping that they can play this game and develop skills like we used to have when we were younger. I feel that they have a good shot at getting into and winning the junior championships and maybe someday even representing the U.S. in the Olympic Games.

I play everybody just about every game. That's how you learn.

He was coming across the lane and he had a good screen set on him. It was a clean play. It just caught him wrong. At first, I thought he had broken his collarbone.

It's a great story for him that he has matured and been able to play the whole season. He doesn't want to lose. He's kind of like Pierre, but this is his only shot.
