When we don't come out with energy, we get our butts kicked. If we're going to be a good team, we can't come out and lay eggs like this on the road.

I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do. Since I was a rookie I was groomed to make shots down the stretch.

I just told him, the first day I got here, I'll make his job look easy. The stuff he does, I'll make it come easy to him.

Mike expects so much from us, and I think it's the first year that he really has that feeling it's something special. He has the right to feel that way because he's been around for a long, long time, coaching and playing the game. He understands what it's going to take for us to be successful.

Vince Carter is such a great player that we need two guys to try to stop him. When we got there to try to stop him, we got there too late and he either made the shot or we fouled him.

I can't go 1 for 12 and expect my team to win.
