I think a veteran team never panics, and we did not panic. They made a run, and we expected they would make a run. We answered it and kept being aggressive.

Callin something a 'moral panic' does not imply that this something does not exist or happened at all and that reaction is based on fantasy, hysteria, delusion and illusion or being duped by the powerful.

I think this team thrives in the half court, more than the first three or four years I was here, when our offense was in the open court, and we struggled in the half court. I think we can score in both situations.

My objective was to get out and try to run and speed the game up as fast as we could so that we could get that rust off. As much as we simulated or had great practices, it's a little bit different when you get out there in a game.

It's awesome just being part of this team. It may not have been our strongest team (in terms of veteran starters), but it was probably the hardest working ever.

I just want to be in there at the end of the game to try to help the team win. The last six minutes of an NBA game is where you make your name, so hopefully I'm in there trying to help my guys win.
