I kept waiting for Ben (center Ben Wallace ) to come back in. I guess (coach) felt that if things were going good, you have to stick with it. I was just trying to make things happen.

I used to get down on myself a lot if I missed a shot, and it would just break my focus. But now I stay mentally tough and try to just forget about that play and keep on going.
I can't be someone I'm not. I try to be a warrior on the court, but where I come from, being macho doesn't get you anywhere.
I just go and play hard. That's who I am.
My legs are starting to get back under me. I'm getting my rhythm back and I'm just going out there to play. Not really thinking about it.
He just made it so easy for me to score. He's such a good passer. I kind of knew where his passes were going to be at any time. Not even looking, I knew where he was going to throw it and when he was going to throw it.
I was a little more motivated for the win. It was my first finals. To lose like we did, I'm going to remember it for the rest of my life.
