I expect a hard-fought series from Denver. We got home-court advantage, and that should help. The Nuggets are a tough club, and so is Dallas. I felt that we matched up well with either.

It was a great win. I tried to set a tone early and my teammates put me in a great position to score.

We got sloppy at the end, but we accomplished what we wanted to.

Mike Miller brings a lot. He can shoot the ball, rebound well. The intangibles are there for Memphis with him coming off the bench.

It's been tough over the years, so to be here in this position feels good, but we have a lot more to accomplish.

We have a winning record and that is a big thing for us. It feels good, but we still have a lot more to accomplish. It is a milestone we want to check off. I am just glad the organization has put the pieces around us so that we can learn and compete at the highest level.
