We know [Detroit] will come back and play even harder next game.

As much as I try to add pizazz and flare, which makes the game great, there is a lot to be said about execution and making the right plays. All that DJ Whay and hoopla and stuff, if it's effective and it's working, then great, but I'll take execution before pizazz for a championship any day.

I twisted my ankle. My whole left side is falling apart,

Besides, it's all about the team. If you get too caught up in your own individual awards, it takes away from your focus and it takes away from being a part of the team. Always put the team first. That's what my dad always taught me. Share the credit. Take the blame. That's how you have to be.

Obviously it won't be healed before the end of the finals, but it's one of those situations where the swelling, if it can go down, and it's not in the worst possible spot ... Obviously it cracked in the first half (Saturday) and I played the second half, so it wasn't like I was incapable to run, ... Obviously there's swelling and there's some stiffness in there, so right now running I wouldn't be able to do. But you never know over the next few days how things work. We'll just wait and see what happens.

I ran the rest of the game, ... It's just a little swollen and a little stiff. It's not painful. It's not horrible pain. Obviously, I played with it in the second half. I was conscious of it, so I could feel something wasn't exactly right. I just played through it. After the game there was some swelling, and then (Sunday and Monday) there was a little more swelling.
