We've got to get to the point when we get a big lead, we feel confident and finish them off. We're not going to be a great team until we can do that.

We have to make better decisions on holding leads. We get a lead in another team's building, then give up the lead. It's hard to get it back, no matter who you're playing. We have to learn how to get a lead and blow somebody out. We haven't done that in a while.

I'm at the point where pushing it is making it worse. I've been pushing it for so long that it's easier to sprain every game. I've sprained it in seven of the last 10 games. I'm going to take a game off and try to let it heal a little bit and try to be ready for (Tuesday's game at Chicago).

We feel when all the evidence comes out, we are confident that we are ultimately going to prevail on that as well.

It was a nine?point lead, but it didn't feel like it. It was so back?and?forth. They missed shots, and we missed shots.

As bad as I disagreed on stuff, I wanted to get a technical foul, but I didn't. When guys on the team see me get technical fouls, it tends to trickle down to the team. I just took it and dealt with it.
