Too bad. If [these games] were on regular TV, I think a lot more people would be interested.

We've been playing like that the last couple games. We're starting to talk and communicate with each other on the floor better. We've been waiting for this team to play like this all year.

Just what he's meant on and off the court, he's impacted every one from fans to the front office. Ultimately, it's our responsibility to do what's in the best interest of the Dallas Mavericks, but Michael has a special place in Mark's (Cuban) heart, my heart, and a special place in the franchise.

We're very pleased. Travis is a great open court decision-maker, he runs an exceptional pick and roll, which is a large part of our offense, and he's been deep in the playoffs so he won't be intimidated by that atmosphere.

It really doesn't matter that we lost those three games by five points. What matters is that we lost them period. Anytime you lose three games in a season at St. John's, it's disappointing. It just makes you all the more hungry to get back out there again.

Some of the most important people in my life would be shocked to learn that they were role models. They weren't celebrities, or even particularly accomplished. But they had some quality that I admired, that made me want to be like them.
